Set the problem <=0



Solve as if it's an equality, factor and solve for x:

x-6+6=0+6
x=6
Since this is an inequality, we have to check values bigger and smaller than 6 to see what kind of inequality sign that we need.
When x=0,
(0-6)(0-6)=36, which is not less than 0.
When x=7
(7-6)(7-6)=1*1=1, which is also not less than 0.
Therefore, the only value for which

is x=6
Interval notation:[6]
Set notation:{6}
Set Builder Notation:{x|x=6}
