1. **State the problem:** Solve the inequality $5 - x \leq 3$ and express the solution in interval notation.
2. **Write the inequality:**
$$5 - x \leq 3$$
3. **Isolate the variable $x$:**
Subtract 5 from both sides:
$$5 - x - 5 \leq 3 - 5$$
$$-x \leq -2$$
4. **Divide both sides by $-1$ to solve for $x$:**
Remember, dividing or multiplying an inequality by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.
$$\frac{-x}{-1} \geq \frac{-2}{-1}$$
$$x \geq 2$$
5. **Write the solution set in interval notation:**
Since $x$ is greater than or equal to 2, the solution is:
$$[2, \infty)$$
6. **Interpret the graph choice:**
The correct graph shows a closed bracket at 2 and an arrow pointing to the right (towards infinity).
**Final answer:** The solution set is $[2, \infty)$.
