Answer

The solution is $ x\leq -5$.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 6x+1\leq 4x-9$ Add $-4x-1$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 6x+1-4x-1\leq 4x-9-4x-1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2x\leq -10$ Divide each side by $2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{2}\leq -\frac{10}{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x\leq -5$ Hence, the solution is $ x\leq -5$.
