Final answer:

To solve the inequality 1/2(-7) >= 5, we need to isolate the variable. None of the given choices (A, B, C, D) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality 1/2(-7) >= 5, we need to isolate the variable. First, let's simplify the left side of the inequality: 1/2(-7) = -7/2. So, the inequality becomes -7/2 >= 5. To isolate the variable, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 2 to get rid of the fraction: -7 >= 10. However, -7 is not greater than or equal to 10, so this inequality has no solution. Therefore, none of the given choices (A, B, C, D) is correct.
