Bot GPT 3.5 Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with x.
-3x + 5 - 5 ≤ 23 - 5
-3x ≤ 18
Step 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by -3. Note that since we are dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign will flip.
-3x / -3 ≥ 18 / -3
x ≥ -6
Step 3: Graph the solution on a number line. Since the inequality includes the symbol ≥ (greater than or equal to), we use a solid line to represent this and shade the area to the right of -6.
Number line:
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

Step 4: Write the final solution. The solution to the inequality -3x + 5 ≤ 23 is x ≥ -6.
