8x-40\leq -9\left(x+3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by x-5.
8x-40\leq -9x-27
Use the distributive property to multiply -9 by x+3.
8x-40+9x\leq -27
Add 9x to both sides.
17x-40\leq -27
Combine 8x and 9x to get 17x.
17x\leq -27+40
Add 40 to both sides.
17x\leq 13
Add -27 and 40 to get 13.
x\leq \frac{13}{17}
Divide both sides by 17. Since 17 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
