Given the inequality:
$$\frac{x}{3} \leq 1$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$\frac{x}{3} = 1$$
Solve:
Given the linear equation:
x/3 = 1
Divide both parts of the equation by 1/3
x = 1 / (1/3)
$$x_{1} = 3$$
$$x_{1} = 3$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = 3$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} \leq x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10} + 3$$
=
$$\frac{29}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$\frac{x}{3} \leq 1$$
$$\frac{29}{3 \cdot 10} \leq 1$$
29
-- <= 1
30
the solution of our inequality is:
$$x \leq 3$$
