To solve the first inequality, we need to simplify both sides of the equation and isolate the variable x.
5(x + 1) ≤ 3(x + 3) + 1
First, distribute on both sides:
5x + 5 ≤ 3x + 9 + 1
Combine like terms:
5x + 5 ≤ 3x + 10
Next, subtract 3x from both sides to isolate the x term:
5x - 3x + 5 ≤ 3x - 3x + 10
This simplifies to:
2x + 5 ≤ 10
Now, subtract 5 from both sides:
2x + 5 - 5 ≤ 10 - 5
This simplifies to:
2x ≤ 5
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
2x/2 ≤ 5/2
This simplifies to:
x ≤ 2.5
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 2.5.
Now let's solve the second inequality:
2x - 1/7 ≤ x + 1/2
First, let's get rid of the fractions by finding a common denominator. The common denominator is 14.
Multiplying all terms by 14:
14(2x - 1/7) ≤ 14(x + 1/2)
This simplifies to:
28x - 2 ≤ 14x + 7
Next, subtract 14x from both sides:
28x - 14x - 2 ≤ 14x - 14x + 7
This simplifies to:
14x - 2 ≤ 7
Now, add 2 to both sides:
14x - 2 + 2 ≤ 7 + 2
This simplifies to:
14x ≤ 9
Finally, divide both sides by 14 to solve for x:
14x/14 ≤ 9/14
This simplifies to:
x ≤ 0.64
Therefore, the solution to the second inequality is x ≤ 0.64.
