Answer:

x ≥ -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution of the terms

  • 5(x - 3) - 6(x - 2) ≤ 8
  • 5x - 15 - 6x + 12 ≤ 8

Combine like terms

  • 5x - 15 - 6x + 12 ≤ 8
  • -x - 3 ≤ 8

Add 3 on each side.

  • -x - 3 + 3 ≤ 8 + 3
  • -x ≤ 11

Divide by -1 (change sign)

  • -x/-1 ≤ 11/-1
  • x ≥ -11
