    The smallest possible value for x is 6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (x + 3) ≤ 5x - 3

    Distribute the 3

    3x+9 ≤ 5x - 3

    Subtract 3x from each side

    3x+9-3x ≤ 5x-3x - 3

    9 ≤ 2x - 3

    Add 3 to each side

    9+3≤ 2x - 3+3

    12 ≤ 2x

    Divide by 2

    12/2≤ 2x / 2

    6 ≤ x

    The smallest possible value for x is 6
