2x+1\geq 5x-5
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-1.
2x+1-5x\geq -5
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-3x+1\geq -5
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x\geq -5-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-3x\geq -6
Subtract 1 from -5 to get -6.
x\leq \frac{-6}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3. Since -3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\leq 2
Divide -6 by -3 to get 2.
