It's -5, plug it into the inequality and you can realize -3 x -5 = 15, +5 = 20
Answer:
x = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
given
- 3x + 5 > 17 ( isolate the term in x by subtracting 5 from both sides )
- 3x > 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
Remembering to reverse the inequality symbol when dividing/ multiplying by a negative quantity.
x < - 4 ← reverse symbol
The only value in the given list less than - 4 is - 5, hence
x = - 5 ← is the only possible solution
