Answer

Final Answer: The solution set is $x \geq 0.3$. In interval notation, this is $[0.3, \infty)$. So, the correct choice is A. The solution set is $[0.3, \infty)$.

Steps

Step 1 :The inequality is -3x ≤ 0.9.

Step 2 :To solve for x, we need to divide both sides by -3.

Step 3 :However, when we divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes.

Step 4 :So, the inequality becomes x ≥ -0.3.

Step 5 :Final Answer: The solution set is $x \geq 0.3$. In interval notation, this is $[0.3, \infty)$. So, the correct choice is A. The solution set is $[0.3, \infty)$.
