8\left(3x+1\right)\leq 5\left(2x-3\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 40, the least common multiple of 5,8. Since 40 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
24x+8\leq 5\left(2x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 3x+1.
24x+8\leq 10x-15
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2x-3.
24x+8-10x\leq -15
Subtract 10x from both sides.
14x+8\leq -15
Combine 24x and -10x to get 14x.
14x\leq -15-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
14x\leq -23
Subtract 8 from -15 to get -23.
x\leq -\frac{23}{14}
Divide both sides by 14. Since 14 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
