Answer: -6

Explanation:


-2g+3>-5(g+1)

First of all, solve the inequality.

Distribute -5 in the parentheses.


-2g+3>-5g-5

Add 5g and subtract 3 from both sides.


-2g+5g>-5-3

Combine like terms


3g>-8

Divide by 3.


g>-(8)/(3)

This means that any input (g) has to be greater than
-(8)/(3). If you do not know what is
-(8)/(3), divide 8 by 3. That is equal to approximately
-2.67. Therefore, g has to be greater than -2.67, this will leave -6 out of the choices.
