Answer:

x = -3

Explanation:

-3x + 8 ≥ 14 (subtract 8 from both sides)

-3x ≥ 14 - 8

-3x ≥ 6 (divide both sides by 3)

-x ≥ 2 (multiply both sides by -1, remember to flip the sign when multiplying both sides by negative number)

x ≤ 2 (-1)

x ≤ -2

hence the solution must be a value that is less than -2. From the choices available, the only choice which satisfies this is x = -3
