Answer:

II only

Explanation:

You can simplify the inequality like this:

3 -8 > 8 -8 + 5x . . . . . . . . subtract 8 from both sides

-5 > 5x . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

-5/5 > (5x)/5 . . . . . . . divide both sides by 5

-1 > x . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

I find this easier to compare to a numbers on a number line if the inequality symbol points to the left. (This is a personal preference. YMMV)

x < -1

Now, we can see that only numbers to the left of -1 on the number line will be suitable values for x. Of those listed, only -9 is a solution.

II only
