multiple choice answers are: A.\[3le x \le5\]. B.\[-1le x \le1\]. C.\[-4\le x \le0\] or D.\[-2\le x \le5\]

Answer 17

A.\[3\le x \le\]

Answer 18

\[-\left| x+2 \right|+5\ge3\]
subtract 5 from both sides
\[-\left| x+2 \right|\ge-2\]
divide by negative
\[\left| x+2 \right|\le2\]
\[-2\le x+2 \le 2\]
subtract 2 from all three sides
\[-4 \le x \le 0\]
