Answer:

A and B

Explanation:


(7x+6)/(2)\leq 3x+2 < ==multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\2((7x+6)/(2)\leq 3x+2)\\\\7x+6\leq6x+4 < ==subtract\ -6x\ from\ both\ sides\ \\-6x \ \ -6x\\\\x+6\leq4 < ==subtract\ 6\ from\ both\ sides\\-6 \ \ \ -6\\\\x\leq-2 < ==answer\ should\ be\ anything\ less\ than\ or\ equal\ to\ -2

Now, look at your answer choices, which options are less than or equal to -2?

x ≤ -2, Check your answers:

A. -3 ≤ -2?

This statement is correct (-3 is < -2)

B. -2 ≤ -2 <== our original answer

This statement is correct (-2 is = to -2)

C. -1 ≤ -2

This statement is incorrect (-1 is > -2, not ≤ -2)

D. 0 ≤ -2

This statement is incorrect (0 is > -2, not ≤ -2)

E. 1 < -2

This statement is incorrect (1 is > -2, not ≤ -2)

Therefore, the correct options are A and B

Hope this helps!
