-70-7x\leq 5\left(3+x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 35, the least common multiple of 5,7. Since 35 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
-70-7x\leq 15+5x
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 3+x.
-70-7x-5x\leq 15
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-70-12x\leq 15
Combine -7x and -5x to get -12x.
-12x\leq 15+70
Add 70 to both sides.
-12x\leq 85
Add 15 and 70 to get 85.
x\geq -\frac{85}{12}
Divide both sides by -12. Since -12 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
