Question

solve for a.
7 - 3a ≤ 1

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 7 from both sides

$7 - 3a - 7 \leq 1 - 7$
Simplify to get: $-3a \leq -6$

Step2: Divide both sides by -3 (remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number)

$\frac{-3a}{-3} \geq \frac{-6}{-3}$
Simplify to get: $a \geq 2$

Answer:

$a \geq 2$
