3x+9\leq 5x-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+3.
3x+9-5x\leq -3
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-2x+9\leq -3
Combine 3x and -5x to get -2x.
-2x\leq -3-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
-2x\leq -12
Subtract 9 from -3 to get -12.
x\geq \frac{-12}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2. Since -2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x\geq 6
Divide -12 by -2 to get 6.
