Answer:

x ≥ -6

Option C

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve the inequality by isolating x. Remember, flip the sign when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative number in an inequality.

Solve for x

  • -4x - 12 ≤ 12
  • -4x - 12 + 12 ≤ 12 + 12
  • -4x ≤ 24
  • -4x / -4 ≥ 24 / -4 => Flip the sign!
  • x ≥ -6

The answer is option c, all values greater than -6.
