-2x - 8 < -44 and -2x - 8 ≥ -8 -2x - 8 > -44 and -2x - 8 ≥ -8 -2x - 8 < -44 and -2x - 8 ≥-8 -2x > -44 and -8 ≥ -8

there is a mistake in your question ... You have written -44 > -2x - 8 ≥ -8 which means -44 > -8 or -44 is bigger than -8; thus, the answer would be none of the above. Are the signs supposed to go the other way? -44 < -2x - 8 < -8??

@satellite ....  maybe .... I think students are finding openstudy.com, sharing with their classmates and then if there is a typo we see it over and over again.  I find that one day I answer a question and then the next day I answer the same question again,  Usually 3-4 times a week.
