To solve the inequality [tex]\(-3(x-3) \leq 5(1-x)\)[/tex], let's proceed step-by-step:
1. Expand both sides of the inequality:
Let's first expand the expressions on both sides of the inequality.
[tex]\[
-3(x - 3) \leq 5(1 - x)
\][/tex]
For the left side:
[tex]\[
-3(x - 3) = -3x + 9
\][/tex]
For the right side:
[tex]\[
5(1 - x) = 5 - 5x
\][/tex]
2. Rewrite the inequality with the expanded expressions:
Now we have:
[tex]\[
-3x + 9 \leq 5 - 5x
\][/tex]
3. Isolate the terms involving [tex]\(x\)[/tex] on one side of the inequality:
To simplify, let's add [tex]\(5x\)[/tex] to both sides:
[tex]\[
-3x + 5x + 9 \leq 5 - 5x + 5x
\][/tex]
Which simplifies to:
[tex]\[
2x + 9 \leq 5
\][/tex]
4. Isolate the constant term on the other side:
Subtract 9 from both sides:
[tex]\[
2x + 9 - 9 \leq 5 - 9
\][/tex]
Which simplifies to:
[tex]\[
2x \leq -4
\][/tex]
5. Solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
Finally, divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\[
x \leq \frac{-4}{2}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
x \leq -2
\][/tex]
Thus, the solution to the inequality [tex]\(-3(x-3) \leq 5(1-x)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(x \leq -2\)[/tex].
The correct answer is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{\text{C. } x \leq -2}
\][/tex]
