I NEED AN ANSWER FAST

2. If x = -8, which inequality is true?

A. -3x - 2 = 24
B. 12 + 2x > 9
C. 4x -19 318
D. 17 + x>10​

Answer 1

[C] 4x - 19 < 318

Explanation:

For [C] I think you meant: [C] 4x - 19 < 318

Since, x = -8

then we can plug it in to each answer choice to find the answer:

[A] -3x - 2 = 24

⇒ -3(-8) - 2 = 24

-3(-8) = 24

24 -2 = 22 not 24

False.

[B] 12 + 2x > 9

⇒ 12 + 2(-8) > 9

12 -16 > 9

-4 > 9

False.

[C] 4x -19 < 318

⇒ 4(-8) -19= 318

-51 < 318

True.

[D] 17 + x>10​

⇒ 17 + (-8) >10​

-25 > 10

False.

Hence, the answer is [C] 4x - 19 < 318

Answer 2

The answer is D.
The equation would add up to 9, and 9 is less than 10
