First, we distribute the 43 in the term 43(x+2): 4+43x+43(2)≤83x+1 4+43x+46≤83x+1 4+43x+23≤83x+1 Now, we can combine the constants on the left side:
4+23=28+23=211 So, the inequality becomes:
211+43x≤83x+1 Next, we subtract 83x from both sides: 211+43x−83x≤1 To combine the x terms, we need a common denominator, which is 8:
43x=86x So, 86x−83x=83x 211+83x≤1 Now, subtract 211 from both sides: 83x≤1−211 1−211=22−211=−29 83x≤−29 Multiply both sides by 38: x≤−29⋅38 x≤−2⋅39⋅8 x≤−672
