Given the inequality;


-3x-1\ge5

First, we add 1 to both sides of the inequality, we have;


\begin{gathered} -3x-1+1\ge5+1 \\ -3x\ge6 \end{gathered}

Thus, we divide both sides of the inequality by -3, then changes the inequality sign. We have;


\begin{gathered} -(3x)/(3)\leq(6)/(-3) \\ x\leq-2 \end{gathered}

Then, the interval notation of the inequality is;


(-\infty,-2\rbrack

The graphical representation is;
