Question

. If x = -3, then which inequality is true?

1 point
F. -5x + 2 ≤ 12
G. 3x – 7 ≥ −16
H. 14 + 2x < 5
J. 1/2 x + 6 > 11

Answer 1

To find the correct answer, we substitute -3 for x in each inequality and check which one is true:

F. -5(-3) + 2 ≤ 12
17 ≤ 12 (false)

G. 3(-3) – 7 ≥ −16
-9 - 7 ≥ -16
-16 ≥ -16 (true)

H. 14 + 2(-3) < 5
8 < 5 (false)

J. 1/2 (-3) + 6 > 11
-1.5 + 6 > 11 (false)

Therefore, the only true inequality when x = -3 is G. 3x – 7 ≥ −16.
