We need to solve the following inequality:


(x)/(3)\ge-33

To do that we need to isolate the "x" variable on the left side. This is done by changing the side of the other numbers so that the "x" stays alone there. When we change the sides of a number we need to invert its operation, from sum to subtraction and vice-versa or from product to division and vice-versa.

In this case there is a "3" dividing x, so we need to take it out from the left and multiply by that number on the right. We have:


\begin{gathered} x\ge-33\cdot(3) \\ x\ge-99 \end{gathered}

We found our result, x must be greater or equal to -99.
