#x<=6#

Explanation:

#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

#-2x>=-12#

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

#x<=6#
