Answer:

D, -6 and -4 only​

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality:


-(1)/(2)x+3\ge5

First, subtract 3 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} -(1)/(2)x+3-3\ge5-3 \\ -(1)/(2)x\ge2 \end{gathered}

Next, multiply both sides by -2.


\begin{gathered} -(1)/(2)x*-2\le2*-2 \\ x\le-4 \end{gathered}

Note that when inequality is multiplied by a negative number, the inequality sign is reversed.

Therefore, the values from the set (-6. -4, -3, -1, 0, 2) that satisfy this inequality are: -6 and -4 only​
