ANSWER

x ≥ -7

Step-by-step explanation

We have the inequality given:

-2x + 8 ≤ 4x + 50

To solve this, we collect like terms:

-2x - 4x ≤ 50 - 8

-6x ≤ 42

Now, divide through by -6.

When you divide an inequality by a negative number, the sign changes direction, so we have:

x ≥ 42 / -6

x ≥ -7

That is the solution set for the inequality.
