Answer

Set notation: $\quad \{x|x\geq-1\}$ Interval notation: $\quad[-1,\infty )$. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

Subtract $1$ from both sides. $1-2x-1\leq 3-1 $ Simplify. $-2x\leq 2 $ Divide both sides by $-2$ and change the direction of the inequality. $\dfrac{-2x}{-2}\geq \dfrac{2}{-2} $ Simplify. $x\geq -1 $ The solution set is $\{x|x\geq-1\}$ or interval notation is $[-1,\infty )$. To graph, use an open bracket at $-1$, then shade the region to its right.
