i redid it and got this
check your work
oh for two ...
x + 17 ≤ -5
subtracting 17 ... x ≤ -5 - 17
To solve the inequality x + 17 ≤ -5, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by subtracting 17 from both sides of the inequality:
x + 17 - 17 ≤ -5 - 17
x ≤ -22
2. So, the solution for the inequality x + 17 ≤ -5 is x ≤ -22.
Now, let's move on to the options provided:
a) x is less than or equal to 12: This option does not match the solution to the inequality we found.
b) x is less than or equal to -12: This option also does not match the solution to the inequality we found.
c) x is less than or equal to 22: Again, this option does not match the solution.
d) x is less than or equal to -22: This option matches the solution we found earlier.
Therefore, the correct answer is b) x is less than or equal to -12.
