Answer 1

you were given the following inequality
\[2(x - 1) \ge -12\]
you should solve for x so that you find the correct option.
now the 1st thing to do here is to use distrubtive property in the left side so we should multiply 2 * x and x * -1
which would give us
\[2x - 2 \ge -12\]
now we need to isolate x. 1st we should get rid of -2 by adding it to both sides.
\[2x \ge -10\]
And now divide both sides on 2
\[x \ge -5\]

Answer 2

so that gives you the answer.
