Given the inequality statement:

7x-18 less than or equals to 32

Solution:

The given inequality can be written as,

7x - 18 ≤ 32

In order to solve the inequality, the first step is to transpose -18 on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note  that in transposing numbers, the sign changes.

 7x  ≤ 32 + 18

 7x  ≤ 50

Divide both sides by 7 in order to cancel out 7x leaving behind x.

 7x/7  ≤ 50/7

 x ≤ 50/7

Final answer:

 x ≤ 50/7
