Fill in the Blank

An industrial technician is updating a safety protocol that uses the compound inequality 5−3x≤−1{}5 - 3x \leq -1 or 8+2x≤5{}8 + 2x \leq 5 to represent dangerous operating conditions. Based on the standard solution for this model, solving the first part of the inequality (5−3x≤−1{}5 - 3x \leq -1) requires dividing by -3 and reversing the sign, which results in x≥x \geq ____.
