To solve the inequality \(-3s \leq 12\), you need to isolate \(s\). Here are the steps:
1. Divide both sides of the inequality by \(-3\). Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.
\[
s \geq \frac{12}{-3}
\]
2. Simplify the right side:
\[
s \geq -4
\]
Thus, the solution to the inequality is:
\[
s \geq -4
\]
In interval notation, this can be expressed as:
\[
[-4, \infty)
\]
