-x-1-4x\leq 2x-8
To find the opposite of x+1, find the opposite of each term.
-5x-1\leq 2x-8
Combine -x and -4x to get -5x.
-5x-1-2x\leq -8
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-7x-1\leq -8
Combine -5x and -2x to get -7x.
-7x\leq -8+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-7x\leq -7
Add -8 and 1 to get -7.
x\geq \frac{-7}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7. Since -7 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq 1
Divide -7 by -7 to get 1.
