Answer 1

Solve the inequality for x:

5x - 3 ≤ 7x +7

Subtract 7x from each side:

-2x -3 ≤ 7

Add 3 to each side:

-2x ≤ 10

Divide both sides by -2, also when dividing  both sides of an inequality you flip the direction of the inequality sign:

x ≥ -5

The dot will be on -5, because the inequality includes equal to, the dot is solid and is greater than, the arrow will point to the right.

The correct answer is D.
