Coco, this is the solution to the inequality:

5 - 3x/2 ≥ 1/3

Subtracting 5 at both sides:

5 - 3x/2 - 5 ≥ 1/3 - 5

-3x/2 ≥ 1/3 - 15/3

-3x/2 ≥ -14/3

LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 2 and 3 : 6

-9x/6 ≥ -28/6

Dividing by -9/6 at both sides:

-9x/6 / -9/6 ≥ -28/6 / -9/6

x ≥ 28/9

In consequence, the correct answer is C. x ≥ 28/9
