Question 1085234: Solve: – x ≥ -3
x ≥ 3
x ≤ -3
x ≤ 3

x ≥ -3

i believe you mean -x >= - 3

multiply both sides of the inequality by -1 to get x <= 3

when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, it reverses the inequality.

when x is <= 3, like say when x = 0, the -x >= -3 becomes 0 >= -3 which is true.

when x is equal to 3, then -3 >= -3 which is true.
