Answer:

x ≥ 3

Explanation:

- 3(2x - 1) ≤ x - 18 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 6x + 3 ≤ x - 18 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 7x + 3 ≤ - 18 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- 7x ≤ - 21

divide both sides by - 7, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x ≥ 3
