Answer

\text{B}

4 steps

Write down the inequality.
$5 - 3x \ge 17$
Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality.
$5 - 3x - 5 \ge 17 - 5$ $-3x \ge 12$
Divide both sides by -3.
Remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative number.
$\frac{-3x}{-3} \le \frac{12}{-3}$ $x \le -4$
Compare the result with the given options.
The solution $x \le -4$ matches option (B).

The final answer is $\text{B}$ .
