Answer

C

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Subtract 4 from all parts of the inequality.

    −11−4≤4−3x−4≤28−4-11 - 4 \le 4 - 3x - 4 \le 28 - 4 −15≤−3x≤24-15 \le -3x \le 24
  2. Divide all parts of the inequality by -3.

    Remember to reverse the inequality signs when dividing by a negative number.

    −15−3≥−3x−3≥24−3\frac{-15}{-3} \ge \frac{-3x}{-3} \ge \frac{24}{-3} 5≥x≥−85 \ge x \ge -8
  3. Rewrite the inequality in standard form, with the smallest number on the left.

    −8≤x≤5-8 \le x \le 5

    Comparing this result with the given options:
    A. −5≤x≤8-5 \le x \le 8
    B. 5≤x≤85 \le x \le 8
    C. −8≤x≤5-8 \le x \le 5
    D. −5<x≤8-5 < x \le 8

    The correct option is C.

    The final answer is C. -8 \lex \le5\boxed{\text{C. -8 \le x \le 5}}.
