3x -7 <= 5x + 9

-2x <= 16

x <= -8

 

The solution in interval notation is (-inf,-8].

...ooops !    Remember when dealing with inequalities, when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative the  <  or   >  symbol reverses

3x-7 ≤ 5x+9 

-16 ≤ 2x

-8 ≤ x                         solution is then  [-8, + ∞ )
