Question 23770: I am not sure how to start this problem or how to finish it.
Solve using the addition and multiplication principles.
(6-3x)<=(1-2x)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6-3x <= 1-2x
Subtract "6" from both sides to get:
-3x<= -5-2x
Add 2x to both sides to get:
-x<=-5
Now, divide both sides by "-5".
Since it is negative the inequality
is reversed and you get:
x>=5
