Answer 1

To solve this, you need to solve for x in the inequality

4x + 2 < -6

Isolate x on the RHS by subtracting 2 and dividing by 4 on both sides

4x < -6 - 2

4x < -8

x < -8 / 4

x < -2

This tells you that the solution set that makes the statement TRUE are all values of x that are LESS THAN -2 (but does NOT include -2)

So the only values that are CORRECT are -5 and -3

You can check by plugging in ALL the values of x given and you will see that only -5 and -3 make the statement true

Hope this helps :)
