Answer:

0.2x + 5 > 2

Explanation:

The arrow is pointing to the right so immediately you know that the sign will be greater than (>). So we can eliminate the choices, 0.3x + 8 < 3 and 0.4x +7 < 1.

Now looking at the two options that are left, we can simply solve them.

0.2x + 5 > 2

Subtract 5 on both sides

0.2x > -3

Then divide 0.2 on both sides and you're left with:

x > -15

We don't need to solve the other inequality because we know that the arrow is pointing to the right, suggesting that x is greater than -15.

Hope you find this helpful :)
