Answer:

The answer is C. -17

Explanation:

To find the solution that does not work, first solve for x.

x + 4 ≥ 1/2 (x - 3)

x + 4 ≥ 1/2x - 3/2

1/2x + 4 ≥ -3/2

1/2x ≥ -11/2

x > -11

So the only number in the possible answers that is not greater than or equal to -11 is -17. Therefore, C must be the answer.
