Answer:

Option A: x = -10 is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the inequality:

3*(x - 4) ≥ 5*x + 2

We can solve this for x as follows:

first, expand the left side:

3x - 12 ≥ 5x + 2

now, move all the terms with x to one side, and the other terms to the other side:

-12 - 2 ≥ 5x - 3x

-14 ≥ 2x

now let's divide both sides by 2

-14/2 ≥ 2x/2

-7 ≥ x

So the solutions are values smaller than -7

In the options, the only value smaller than -7 is the first one:

A: -10

Then the correct option is A.
