Answer:

C

Explanation:

Given

-
(1)/(4) (12x + 8) ≤ - 2x + 11 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 3x - 2 ≤ - 2x + 11 ( add 3x to both sides )

- 2 ≤ x + 11 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- 13 ≤ x , thus

x ≥ - 13

Since x can equal - 13 then a solid circle at - 13 represents the solution

Since x greater than - 13 then the arrow is facing to the right of - 13 on the number line.

Then the graph representing the solution is C
