5\left(x+1\right)-3\left(x-1\right)\leq 15
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,5. Since 15 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
5x+5-3\left(x-1\right)\leq 15
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+1.
5x+5-3x+3\leq 15
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-1.
2x+5+3\leq 15
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
2x+8\leq 15
Add 5 and 3 to get 8.
2x\leq 15-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
2x\leq 7
Subtract 8 from 15 to get 7.
x\leq \frac{7}{2}
Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
