Steps to solve:

-3/4x + 2 ≤ -7

~Subtract 2 to both sides

-3/4x + 2 - 2 ≤ -7 - 2

~Simplify

-3/4x ≤ -9

~Multiply -4/3 to both sides

-3/4x * -4/3 ≤ -9 * -4/3

~Simplify

x ≥ 12

Therefore, the answer is B.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

x ≥-12

Explanation:

-3/4x +2 ≤ -7

Subtract 2 from each side

-3/4x +2-2 ≤ -7-2

-3/4x ≤ -9

Multiply each side by -4/3 to isolate x ,remembering to flip the inequality

-4/3 *-3/4x ≥-9*-4/3

x ≥-12
