Equation of 3+(-7.5x)+2 >= 30

Suppose you solve the inequality above by the following steps:

  1. Subtract the red constant from both sides.
  2. Subtract the orange constant from both sides.
  3. Divide both sides by the blue coefficient.

At the end, you get a solution of the form x≤⋆x\leq \star, where ⋆\star is some constant. Which of the colors represents the reason for flipping the inequality sign?
