Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Given inequality is,

-2x + 8 < 12

By subtraction property of Order,

-2x + 8 - 8 < 12 - 8

-2x < 4

B division property of Order,


(-2x)/((-2))<(4)/((-2))

x > -2

Since, there is no sign of equal to ( = ) in the given inequality, starting point on a number line will be a hollow point.

And an arrow starting from point x = -2 directing towards positive integers will represent the given inequality.

Option (3) will be the answer.
