Exercise 4 Page 189

Begin with the Distributive Property.

No solution.

Practice makes perfect
We can solve inequalities similar to how we solve equations. Let's begin isolating x by using the Distributive Property.
18x-5≤3(6x-2)
18x-5≤18x-6
-5≰-6
Because -5 is always greater than -6, it will never be less than it. We have reached a contradiction. This means that there are no solutions to this inequality.
