−4(x+3)≤−2−2xStep 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.−4x−12≤−2x−2Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.−4x−12+2x≤−2x−2+2x−2x−12≤−2Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.−2x−12+12≤−2+12−2x≤10Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.−2x/−2 ≤ 10/−2Answer: x≥−5

The answer is A. Your dot should be filled in on the -5 and be pointing right.
