Answer

$\left\{ a|a\ge 1 \right\} \text{ or } \left[ 1,\infty \right) $

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of inequality, the given inequality, $ 6-5a\le a ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} -5a-a\le -6 \\\\ -6a\le -6 \\\\ a\ge \dfrac{-6}{-6} \\\\ a\ge 1 .\end{array} Hence, the solution is $ \left\{ a|a\ge 1 \right\} \text{ or } \left[ 1,\infty \right) .$
