Answer:

A

Explanation:

Given

5x - 4 ≥ 12 or 12x + 5 ≤ - 4

Solve each inequality

5x - 4 ≥ 12 ( add 4 to both sides )

5x ≥ 16 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x ≥
(16)/(5)

OR

12x + 5 ≤ - 4 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

12x ≤ - 9 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x ≤ -
(3)/(4)

Solution is x ≥
(16)/(5) or x ≤ -
(3)/(4) → A
