The symbol ">" with a line underneath is read as "greater than or equal to." So, the equation 16.5 > 1.25x + 12.75 translates to:
16.5 ≥ 1.25x + 12.75
To find the solution set, we need to isolate x:
16.5 - 12.75 ≥ 1.25x
3.75 ≥ 1.25x
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 1.25:
3.75/1.25 ≥ x
3 ≥ x
Therefore, the solution set for the given inequality is x ≤ 3.
