Answer (depending if the fraction is positive or negative):

  1. x ≥ 18
  2. x ≤ -18

Explanation:

If the fraction is positive:

  1. Write it out:
    (x)/(6) \geq 3
  2. Multiply each side by 6 to cancel out the 6 under x. It should now look like this: x ≥ 18

If the fraction is negative:

  1. Write it out:
    -(x)/(6) \geq 3
  2. Multiply each side by -6 to cancel out the -6 under x. It should now look like this: x ≤ -18

I hope this helps!
