5x-3\leq -2x-52
Multiply both sides of the equation by -2. Since -2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
5x-3+2x\leq -52
Add 2x to both sides.
7x-3\leq -52
Combine 5x and 2x to get 7x.
7x\leq -52+3
Add 3 to both sides.
7x\leq -49
Add -52 and 3 to get -49.
x\leq \frac{-49}{7}
Divide both sides by 7. Since 7 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x\leq -7
Divide -49 by 7 to get -7.
