    Your inequality would be 261.50 less than or equal to 65x + 99

    now to solve this you would begin by isolating 65x you would do this by subtracting 99 on both sides.

    162.50 less than or equal to 65x

    to get x alone [because thats what youre solving for] you need to divide by 65 on both sides.

    x = 2.5

    Now you can check youre work

    261.50 less than or equal to 65 (2.5) + 99

    youll get

    261.50 less than or equal to 261.50
