negative 5 over 3g less than or equal to 15
We can reword this as the following
minus 5 divided by 3g is less the or equal to 15

Minus 5 is  -5
Minus 5 divided by 3g is (-5/3g)
Less than or equal to is <=
We know what 15 is
So,
(-5/3g) <= 15 or (-5/3g) <= 15

We need to simplify this inequality by determining if there are any multiples
(-5/3g) <= 15
(-5/3g) and 15 are multiples of 5
So, divide both sides by 5
(-5/3g)(1/5) <= 15/5
(-5/5)(1/3g) <= 3
(-5/5) = -1
-(1/3g) &#x2264; 3
Let's multiply both sides by 3
(3)(-1/3g) <= (3)(3)
-(3/3g) <= 9
-(1/g) <= 9
Let's multiply both sides by (g/9)
-(1/g)(g/9) <= (9)(g/9)
-(g/g)(1/9) <= (9/9)(g)

-1/9 <= g
