The correct answer is C.

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

x − 1 < −6

Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.

x − 1 + 1 < −6 + 1

x < −5

The given equation is -4 +x +3 < -6

First you need to solve for X:

-4 +x +3 < -6

First add -4 and 3, which equals -1, so now the equation is:

x-1 <-6

Add 1 to each side:

x <-5

Now you have X and x<-5 is only part of the third answer, so the answer would be C.
