Fill in the Blank

A logistics coordinator is configuring an automated alert system that flags inventory anomalies when the stock metric xx satisfies the condition 12x3{}1 - 2x \leq -3 or 7+3x4{}7 + 3x \leq 4. To properly evaluate the first part of the condition (12x3{}1 - 2x \leq -3), the coordinator subtracts 1{}1 from both sides to get 2x4-2x \leq -4. In the final step of solving this piece, the coordinator divides both sides by 2-2, which means they must ____ the inequality sign to arrive at the correct boundary of x2x \geq 2.
