Answer:

The nearest option is -3 (negative 3)

So, Option B is correct.

Explanation:

We need to solve the inequality
7 \leq -3x-4

Solving:

Step 1: Switching sides of inequality and reversing the inequality


-3x-4\geq 7

Step 2: Adding 4 on both sides


-3x-4+4\geq 7+4\\-3x\geq 11

Step 3: Dividing both sides by -3 and reversing the inequality


(-3x)/(-3)\leq (11)/(-3) \\x\leq -3.6\\

The nearest option is -3 (negative 3)

So, Option B is correct.
