We want to know whether the numbers 8, -4, -5 and 2 are solutions of the inequality:
We will solve the inequality, and then we will find if each one of the values are solutions. For doing so, we will clear out the variable x.
This means that all the values less than -4 are solutions of the inequality.
Thus: 8, -4 and 2 are NOT solutions, but -5 is a solution.
