Final answer:

To solve the inequality x/3 ≥ -33, both sides of the inequality are multiplied by 3 to isolate x, resulting in x ≥ -99.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to solve for x in the inequality x/3 ≥ -33.

To isolate x, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 (since 3 is the denominator):

3 * (x/3) ≥ 3 * (-33)

x ≥ -99

Thus, the simplified solution is x ≥ -99, which corresponds to option b: x ≥ -99. Since the inequality includes the equals sign, the solution includes -99 and all numbers greater than -99.
