Answer:

s

Explanation:

In order to solve an inequality we simply have to isolate the variable by applying the opposite operations on each side.

s - 2 < -10 ... add 2 to both sides

s < -8

-3s <= 6 ... divide both sides by -3, since we are dividing a negative number you must flip the sign

x >= -2

Therefore the final answer would be s which is the 3rd graphed multiple choice answer as seen attached to this answer.
