$x \leq 6$ $x<=6$

Explanation:

$8 - 2 x \geq - 4$ $8-2x>=-4$ is our equation

To solve for the inequality you do it normally like you would for an equation, although if you multiply or divide by a negative number you flip the inequality

$- 2 x \geq - 12$ $-2x>=-12$

Now we have to divide both sides by $- 2$ $-2$ so we will flip the inequality

$x \leq 6$ $x<=6$
