To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by dividing both sides of the inequality by -1.7.

\(-1.7x \geq 5.95\)
\(x \leq \frac{{5.95}}{{-1.7}}\)
\(x \leq -3.5\)

Therefore, \(x\) is less than or equal to -3.5.

Apologies for the mistake.

To solve the inequality -1.7x ≥ 5.95, we need to isolate x. To do this, we divide both sides of the inequality by -1.7. However, since we are dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign needs to be reversed.

(-1.7x)/(-1.7) ≤ 5.95/(-1.7)
x ≤ -3.5

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ -3.5.
