Answer

$[1,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of inequality, the given inequality, $ 2x+2\le5x-1 $, is equivalent to \begin{align*}\require{cancel} 2x-5x&\le-1-2 \\ -3x&\le-3 \\\\ \dfrac{\cancel{-3}x}{\cancel{-3}}&\ge\dfrac{-3}{-3} &(\text{reverse the inequality}) \\\\ x&\ge1 .\end{align*} Hence, in interval notation, the solution of the inequality, $ 2x+2\le5x-1 $ is $ [1,\infty) $.
