Answer:

option 2

Explanation:

2(x + 6) > - 6(x + 1) + 2 ← distribute the parenthesis on both sides

2x + 12 > - 6x - 6 + 2

2x + 12 > - 6x - 4 ( add 6x to both sides )

8x + 12 > - 4 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

8x > - 16 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x > - 2

the graph will have an open circle at - 2, with arrow pointing right

this is indicated in option 2
