#x>=-7#

Explanation:

#"distribute parenthesis on right side of inequality"#

#-30x+30<= -24x+72#

#"add "24x" to both sides"#

#-30x+24x+30<=cancel(-24x)cancel(+24x)+72#

#rArr-6x+30<=72#

#"subtract 30 from both sides"#

#-6xcancel(+30)cancel(-30)<=72-30#

#rArr-6x<=42#

#"divide both sides by "-6#

#color(blue)"reversing the sign as a consequence"#

#rArrx>= -7#

#x in[-7,oo)larrcolor(blue)"in interval notation"#
