2x+5\leq 14x
Multiply 7 and 2 to get 14.
2x+5-14x\leq 0
Subtract 14x from both sides.
-12x+5\leq 0
Combine 2x and -14x to get -12x.
-12x\leq -5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x\geq \frac{-5}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12. Since -12 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq \frac{5}{12}
Fraction \frac{-5}{-12} can be simplified to \frac{5}{12} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
