To solve for \( x \) in the inequality \( 218 \geq 20x + 40 \), we can follow these steps:
1. Subtract \( 40 \) from both sides of the inequality:
\[
218 - 40 \geq 20x
\]
\[
178 \geq 20x
\]
2. Next, divide both sides by \( 20 \) to isolate \( x \):
\[
\frac{178}{20} \geq x
\]
\[
8.9 \geq x
\]
This can be rewritten as:
\[
x \leq 8.9
\]
So the solution to the inequality is:
\[
x \leq 8.9
\]
