Step 1Now that we know what our inequality is, we can now solve for x. To do this, we have to subtract 24 from each side:      9    x    +    15    -    24    ≤    24    +    10    x    -    24        9    x    -    9    ≤    10    x  Next, let&#039;s subtract 9x from each side:      9    x    -    9    -    9    x    ≤    10    x    -    9    x        -    9    ≤    9    x  Finally, let&#039;s divide each side by 9 to get our answer:      -          9      9        ≤                  9        x            9            -    1    ≤    x
