-15x+5+12\leq -11x+5
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 3x-1.
-15x+17\leq -11x+5
Add 5 and 12 to get 17.
-15x+17+11x\leq 5
Add 11x to both sides.
-4x+17\leq 5
Combine -15x and 11x to get -4x.
-4x\leq 5-17
Subtract 17 from both sides.
-4x\leq -12
Subtract 17 from 5 to get -12.
x\geq \frac{-12}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq 3
Divide -12 by -4 to get 3.
