8-5x+x\leq -2
Add x to both sides.
8-4x\leq -2
Combine -5x and x to get -4x.
-4x\leq -2-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-4x\leq -10
Subtract 8 from -2 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.
