To solve the inequality 3x - 8 ≥ 5x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign. First, we can simplify the inequality by subtracting 3x from both sides:
3x - 8 - 3x ≥ 5x - 3x
Simplifying further, we get:
-8 ≥ 2x
To isolate x, we divide both sides by 2:
-4 ≥ x
This is the same as x ≤ -4. Therefore, the correct option is:
- x ≤ -4
