The correct answer is A) -3.9. To solve this, you need to replace the variable x with the given values and see which one makes the inequality true. When x is replaced with -3.9, the inequality becomes -6 > 13 + 5(-3.9), which simplifies to -6 > -19.5, which is true. Therefore, -3.9 is the value of x that makes the inequality true.
