Answer: Choice C

Closed filled in circle at -3; shading to the right.

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the steps shown below to isolate x. Note that the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


-4x+8 \le 20\\\\-4x \le 20-8\\\\-4x \le 12\\\\x \ge 12/(-4)\\\\x \ge -3\\\\

Here's another way to isolate x


-4x+8 \le 20\\\\8 \le 20+4x\\\\4x+20 \ge 8\\\\4x \ge 8-20\\\\4x \ge -12\\\\x \ge -12/4\\\\x \ge -3\\\\

The inequality sign flip happens much earlier when we go from the format of
A \le B to
B \ge A (in step 3)

The graph of this will have a closed filled in circle at -3, then shading to the right to describe all values -3 or larger.

This is why we go for choice C.
