Answer:

x >= 1

Sorry this keyboard doesn't have greater than or equal to symbol.

Explanation:

-1.5(4x+1) =< 4.5 -2.5(x+1) Distribute factors to get:

-6x - 1.5 =< 4.5 -2.5x -2.5

Combine like terms on right

4.5-2.5=2 Add 2.5x to both sides and add 1.5 to both sides. You get

-3.5x =< 3.5 Divide both sides by -3.5 and remember to reverse the less than to more than when you divide by a negative number.

x >= 1
