The correct answer is x < -10, which is A. I hope this helps!

we have


(4)/(5)x+5 < -3

Subtract
5 both sides


(4)/(5)x+5-5 < -3-5


(4)/(5)x < -8

Multiply by
5/4 both sides


x < -8*(5/4)


x < -10

the solution is the interval--------> (-∞,-10)

that means

All real numbers less than
-10

therefore

the answer is the option A

see the attached figure
