Explanation:

natural numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

it is a debate to include also 0. but surely no negative numbers.

-2x <= 9

2x >= -9

x >= -9/2 = -4.5

so, valid x values are all natural numbers.

with or without 0 depends on your teacher.

but normally that would mean

x >= 1, x ∈ N

remember that when multiplying an inequality by a negative number (like -1 in our case) the direction of the inequality flips.
