Answer:

x ≥ -
(17)/(3)

Explanation:

Given

5x - 1 ≤ 8x + 16 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 1 ≤ 3x + 16 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

- 17 ≤ 3x ( divide both sides by 3 )

-
(17)/(3) ≤ x, hence

x ≥ -
(17)/(3)

X=-17/3 because all you do is move the terms, collect like terms, calculate the like sum, and then divide both sides by -3
