Answer:

C.

Explanation:

-1/4(12x+8)<=-2x+11

Distribute:

-3x-2<=-2x+11

Add 2x on both sides:

-1x-2<=0+11

Additive identity property applied:

-1x-2<=11

Add 2 on both sides:

-1x+0<=13

Additive identity property applied:

-1x<=13

Divide both sides by -1:

x>=-13 (dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative means we must flip inequality sign)

Answer x>=-13

So the solution set includes any number greater than or equal to -13. That means we have everything to right of -13 including -13.
