Solve \(\displaystyle - 5 x - 1 \geq -9\). Write the solution in interval notation.
Isolating \(\displaystyle x\) gives \(\displaystyle - 5 x\geq-8\). Dividing off the \(\displaystyle x\) coefficient and reversing the inequality symbol because its negative gives \(\displaystyle x\leq\frac{8}{5}\). The solution is \(\displaystyle \left(-\infty, \frac{8}{5}\right]\)
