Answer

$\le$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The Multiplication Property of Inequality states that for real number $a$, $b$, and $c\gt0$, If $a \le b$, then $ac \le bc$ Thus. if $x \le 3$, then, multiplying $2$ to each side of the inequality gives: $2(x) \le 2(3) \\2x \le 6$ Therefore, the missing inequality symbol is $\le$.
