\[
6+3 x \leq 12
\]
Interval notation for the answer is $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the inequality \(6 + 3x \leq 12\), we need to isolate the variable \(x\). First, subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality, then divide both sides by 3. Finally, express the solution in interval notation.
Step 1: Isolate the variable term
First, we need to isolate the term containing the variable \( x \). We start by subtracting 6 from both sides of the inequality:
\[
6 + 3x \leq 12
\]
\[
6 + 3x - 6 \leq 12 - 6
\]
\[
3x \leq 6
\]
Step 2: Solve for \( x \)
Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 3 to solve for \( x \):
\[
\frac{3x}{3} \leq \frac{6}{3}
\]
\[
x \leq 2
\]
Step 3: Write the solution in interval notation
The solution to the inequality \( x \leq 2 \) in interval notation is:
\[
(-\infty, 2]
