Explanation:
#"multiply ALL terms on both sides of the inequality by the"#
#color(blue)"lowest common multiple ""of 6 and 3"#
#"the lowest common multiple of 6 and 3 is "6#
#(cancel(6)xx-x/cancel(6))+(cancel(6)xx22/cancel(6)) <=cancel(6)^2xx-(6x)/cancel(3)^1)#
#rArr-x+22<=-12xlarrcolor(blue)" no fractions"#
#"add 12x to both sides"#
#-x+12x+22<=cancel(-12x)cancel(+12x)#
#rArr11x+22<=0#
#"subtract 22 from both sides"#
#11xcancel(+22)cancel(-22)<=0-22#
#rArr11x<=-22#
#"divide both sides by 11"#
#(cancel(11) x)/cancel(11)<=(-22)/11#
#rArrx<=-2" is the solution"#
