Answer options with 5 options

B.
x is greater than or equal to 4.2
C.
x is greater than or equal to negative 5
D.

E.

To solve the inequality 2 - 5x ≥ -23, we can follow these steps:
1. Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality: -5x ≥ -25.
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by -5, remembering to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number: x ≤ (-25)/(-5)
3. Simplify the division: x ≤ 5.
So the correct answer is option E: x is less than or equal to 5.
