5x+15\leq 9x+5
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+3.
5x+15-9x\leq 5
Subtract 9x from both sides.
-4x+15\leq 5
Combine 5x and -9x to get -4x.
-4x\leq 5-15
Subtract 15 from both sides.
-4x\leq -10
Subtract 15 from 5 to get -10.
x\geq \frac{-10}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq \frac{5}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-10}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
