#b<-6#

Explanation:

Subtract 862 from both sides:

#864-862 <= b/-3#

#2<=b/-3#

Now multiply by #-3#. Remember that when you multiply by a negative, the greater than symbol or equal to symbol becomes a less than symbol.

#-6>b#

For personal preference, rewrite this so #b# is on the left side:

#b<-6#
