Solve $3 x-7 \leq 5 x+13$
\(\boxed{x \geq -10}\) is the solution to the inequality \(3x - 7 \leq 5x + 13\)
Step 1 :Given the inequality \(3x - 7 \leq 5x + 13\)
Step 2 :Subtract 3x from both sides to get \(-2x - 7 \leq 13\)
Step 3 :Add 7 to both sides to get \(-2x \leq 20\)
Step 4 :Divide both sides by -2 to get \(x \geq -10\)
Step 5 :Check the solution in the original inequality \(3x - 7 \leq 5x + 13\)
Step 6 :Substitute x = -10 into the inequality to get \(3(-10) - 7 \leq 5(-10) + 13\)
Step 7 :Simplify to get \(-30 - 7 \leq -50 + 13\)
Step 8 :Simplify further to get \(-37 \leq -37\)
Step 9 :Since the inequality holds true, the solution is valid
Step 10 :\(\boxed{x \geq -10}\) is the solution to the inequality \(3x - 7 \leq 5x + 13\)
