Clear the fractions by multiplying by the LCM (6), collect xx terms on one side, then represent the solution set on a number line.

(i) The inequality is

x+x2+x3≤10+x6.x+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{3} \le 10+\frac{x}{6}.

Multiply throughout by the LCM of the denominators, 66 (a positive number, so the inequality sign does not flip):

6x+3x+2x≤60+x.6x+3x+2x \le 60+x.

11x≤60+x.11x \le 60+x.

10x≤60.10x \le 60.

x≤6.x \le 6.

So the solution set is x∈(−∞,6]x \in (-\infty, 6].
