  1. -5 is always smaller than -4. So, x might be -4. So, A is an option you should select.
  2. 2 is greater than -4. So, x might be -4. So, B is an option you should select.
  3. If we place -4 in x, we get 3(-4)+4, i.e., -12 + 4 = -8. So, 3x + 4 = -8. Therefore, you cannot select C because it cannot be greater than, it should be always equal to.
  4. 5(-4) = -20, 2(-4) - 3 = -8 -3 = -11. -11 is greater than -20 but they are never equal. So, you cannot select D.
  5. 4 - 2(-4) = 4 + 8 = 12. 12 is greater than -6. Therefore, you should select E.

Answer

A, B, E.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
