x
1+ 3(5/3)=1+5=6, this satisfies the first part of our requirement (at least equal to 6.) Additionally any number smaller than (5/3) will produce an output smaller than 6.

you're going to have to get x on one side of the equation or you'll never get anywhere. Since I can't underline anything, I'll use <_ as "< or equal to" here:
1 + 3x <_ 6
this is what you're starting with
-----
3x <_ 6-1
you've subtracted 1 from each side and x is all alone
-----
3x <_ 5
subtracted 1 from 6 and streamlined it a little
-----
x <_ 5/3
divided each side by 3 and now x is REALLY alone
and you're done, step-by-step.
