We have the next inequality


-2(x-5)-12\le4+6(x+3)
-2x+10-12\le4+6x+18
-2x-2\le6x+22
\begin{gathered} -2x-6x\le22+2 \\ -8x\le24 \end{gathered}

we need to clear x because we have a negative number the sign of the inequality will change


\begin{gathered} x\ge(24)/(-8) \\ x\ge-3 \end{gathered}

as we can see the mistake was option c.
