    A question about Graph Problems

    I have forgotten how to solve these type of problems and unfortunately, the question is in a book, so I can't provide the graphs.

    Of the following, which could be the graph of
    2 - 5x <= 6x - 5 / -3

    On these type of problems, am I solving for "x" or am I "plugging in" numbers for "x", like 0,1,-1 etc etc?

    I think solving for "X" is the better solution.

    2-5x <= 6x-5/-3

    we have to keep in mind; when we multiply by -3 the inequality is going to change.

    -6 + 15x >= 6x-5

    Here,
    2-5x<=(6x-5)/-3
    Or,-6+15x=>6x-5
    Or,9x=>1
    Or, x=>1/9
    So it will be a straight line parallel to y axis which cuts x axis at point 1/9. And also the region in the wright side of the line is included in this relation. It need to see the graph..........to be sure........
