-2x-5\leq x+3
To find the opposite of 2x+5, find the opposite of each term.
-2x-5-x\leq 3
Subtract x from both sides.
-3x-5\leq 3
Combine -2x and -x to get -3x.
-3x\leq 3+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-3x\leq 8
Add 3 and 5 to get 8.
x\geq -\frac{8}{3}
Divide both sides by -3. Since -3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
