To solve the inequality, we multiply both sides by 3/2 (the reciprocal of 2/3) to isolate x. This step is valid because we are multiplying by a positive number and we know that 3/2 is positive.

(2/3)x * (3/2) ≤ 5 * (3/2)

The left side simplifies to:

(1/1)(x) = x

The right side simplifies to:

(15/2)

So the inequality becomes:

x ≤ 15/2

The solution is x can be any number less than or equal to 15/2.
