#x>=22.5#

Let's subtract #1.3x# from both sides to get

#-0.4x+6<=-3#

Next, we can subtract #6# from both sides to isolate the #x# term. We now have

#-0.4x<=-9#

Next, we can divide both sides by #-0.4#. Recall that when we multiply or divide by a negative, the inequality flips. We now have

#x>=22.5#

Hope this helps!
