........first both sides multiply by
..........now you can add to the both sides{ to, actually, move from left to right side)

........
..now you can add to the both sides

3(1 - x) >= -3(x + 2) distribute the 3 and -3 (Distributive Property of Multiplication)
3 - 3x >= -3x + -6
subtract 3 on both sides:
-3x >= -3x + -9
Now add 3x on both sides:
-3x + 3x >= -3x + 3x - 9
0x, or just 0, >= -9
This is correct because 0 IS greater than -9 (I wrote bigger in the picture I made you, it should say greater)
