-2x-1\leq 3\left(x+2\right)
To find the opposite of 2x+1, find the opposite of each term.
-2x-1\leq 3x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+2.
-2x-1-3x\leq 6
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-5x-1\leq 6
Combine -2x and -3x to get -5x.
-5x\leq 6+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-5x\leq 7
Add 6 and 1 to get 7.
x\geq -\frac{7}{5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
