To represent the inequality -2x + 5 + x โค 3x + 13 on a number line, we can start by simplifying the expression.
Combining like terms, we have: -x + 5 โค 3x + 13
Next, we can get rid of the variable x on the left side by adding x to both sides: -x + x + 5 โค 3x + x + 13
This simplifies to: 5 โค 4x + 13
Now, subtracting 13 from both sides: 5 - 13 โค 4x + 13 - 13
This gives us: -8 โค 4x
Lastly, dividing both sides by 4 to solve for x: -8/4 โค 4x/4
Simplifying further: -2 โค x
Therefore, the solution to the inequality -2x + 5 + x โค 3x + 13 is x โ (-โ, -2]. This can be represented on a number line as follows:
