Answer:

-4/5 ≤ x

Explanation:

The smaller x-term is on the left. It is convenient to subtract that to put all of the x-terms together.

4x +4 ≤ 9x +8 . . . . . given

4 ≤ 5x +8 . . . . . . . . . subtract 4x from both sides

We want the x-term by itself, so we need to subtract 8 from both sides.

-4 ≤ 5x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8 from both sides

-4/5 ≤ x . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 5 to get x alone
