Answer:

x ≤ 2

Explanation:

If you referencing ">=" as greater than or equal to, follow the solution below:

Solve:

3x - 6 + 2 ≥ 5x - 8

Combine like terms.

3x - 4 ≥ 5x - 8

Subtract 5x from both sides.

-2x - 4 ≥ -8

Add 4 to both sides.

-2x ≥ -4

Divide both sides by -2, while flipping the inequality as well since you're dividing by a negative number.

x ≤ 2

Your answer would be x ≤ 2
