The answer is C.

Note when Soro divides both sides by -2.5 to solve the equation. When multiplying/dividing by a negative number, one should always reverse the inequality sign, but Soro forgot to do this.

-2.5x≥-30

After this step, the answer SHOULD HAVE been:

x≤12

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
