Three more than five times a number is less than or equal to eight? how do you write that in numbers?

3 + 5x ≤ 8 is how this would be displayed in numbers.

To solve, we treat this like an algebraic equation.

Subtract 3 from both sides.

5x ≤ 5

Divide both sides by 5.

x ≤ 1

The value of x is less than or equal to 1 to make the inequality true.
