3d<=25
Divide each term in the inequality by 3.
(3d)/(3)<=(25)/(3)
Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors.
d<=(25)/(3)
(25)/(3)
The approximate value of (25)/(3) is 8.333333.

Answer= 8 days
To check:
If d=8;
3(8)<=25
Multiply 3 by each term inside the parentheses.
