We can simplify the inequality by first simplifying the expression on the left-hand side: 
-(-8) = 8 
So we have:
8 ≤ -x 
We can then multiply both sides by -1 and reverse the inequality: 
-x ≥ -8 
Finally, we can divide both sides by -1 and reverse the inequality again: 
x ≤ 8 
Therefore, the solution set is (−∞,−8]

For the Following Problem State the Solution Set −(−8)≤−x- ( - 8 ) \leq - x−(−8)≤−x
