6000x+\left(3000-60x\right)\times 120\leq 312000
Multiply both sides of the equation by 40. Since 40 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
6000x+360000-7200x\leq 312000
Use the distributive property to multiply 3000-60x by 120.
-1200x+360000\leq 312000
Combine 6000x and -7200x to get -1200x.
-1200x\leq 312000-360000
Subtract 360000 from both sides.
-1200x\leq -48000
Subtract 360000 from 312000 to get -48000.
x\geq \frac{-48000}{-1200}
Divide both sides by -1200. Since -1200 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq 40
Divide -48000 by -1200 to get 40.
