Answer

A. 1

Step-by-step explanation

So almost all of your mathematical process is correct, with the exception of the last step. Since you are dividing by a negative number, the sign flips. In this case, it changes ≤ to ≥, hence making the final answer x ≥ 1.6.

Now, since the only option that isn't greater than or equal to 1.6 is 1, your final answer is A. 1
