Second option

Also, the reason it can not be the third one is because the circle at -3 is shaded in, meaning x can equal - 3, whereas its not present in this inequality: 5 – x > 8

5 - x = 8

+x

5 = x + 8

-8

-3 = x

(when solving for x, make sure its positive, that's why I started of by adding x on both sides. It makes it easier to figure out the values that works of x. )

Hope this helps!
