Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -3

When multiplying an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, \(-1\times(-3)\geq\frac{x}{-3}\times(-3)\)

Step2: Simplify

\(3\geq x\), which can be written as \(x\leq3\)

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x\leq3\)
For the number line: Place a closed circle at \(3\) (since the inequality is \(\leq\)) and draw a line to the left towards negative infinity.
