Answer:

option B

Explanation:

3x - 5 ≤ -2

add 5 to both sides

3x - 5 + 5 ≤ -2 + 5

3x ≤ 3

divided both sided by 3 to get x alone

3x/3 ≤ 3/3

x ≤ 1

option B is the only choice that is above 1.01 making it not a solution

SIMPLIFY THE EQUALITY FIRST


3x \leqslant - 2 + 5 \\ 3x \leqslant 3 \\ (3x)/(3) \leqslant (3)/(3) \\ x \leqslant 1

X CAN BE ALL THE NUMBERS LESS OR EQUAL TO 1

IN THE PICTURE THE ONLY OPTION THAT CONTRAST THE INEQUALITY IS OPTION B BECAUSE IT IS GREATER THAN 1.

HOPE THIS HELPS
