So starting with the first inequality:


Firstly, subtract 1/5 on each side.
(3)/(2)x \geq -(6)/(5)


Next, multiply each side by 2/3, and your answer should be:


x \geq -(12)/(15)\\\\ x \geq-(4)/(5)



Second inequality:


Firstly, add 7/3 on each side
-(1)/(2) x\geq (22)/(3)


Next, multiply by -2 on each side, and flip the less than or equal to sign because you are multiplying by a negative. Your answer will be
x\leq -(44)/(3)


In short, the correct option is the first option.
