Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 3 from both sides

$-5x+3 - 3\geq - 22-3$
$-5x\geq - 25$

Step2: Divide both sides by -5 and reverse the inequality sign

Since dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. $\frac{-5x}{-5}\leq\frac{-25}{-5}$
$x\leq5$

Answer:

$\leq$
$x\leq5$
On the number - line, you would draw a closed circle at 5 (because the inequality includes equality, i.e., $\leq$) and shade the line to the left of 5.
