Answer:
x < 5, x ≤ -3, x ≤ -1, x > -7
Step-by-step explanation:
It's asking "which ones can you replace x with -3 and it's true?" This becomes so much easier if we spell out what each one says. From left to right...
X is equal to or more than 1 -3 is equal to or more than 1. This is false
X is less than 5 -3 is less than 5. This is true
X is less than or equal to -3 -3 is less than or equal to -3. This is true (They're equal)
X is less than or equal to -1 -3 is less than or equal to -1. This is true
X is more than -3 -3 is more than -3. This is false (They're equal)
X is more than -7 -3 is more than -7. This is true. It can be tricky because 7 is more than 3 but in negatives, it goes the other way. If you owe someone $7, then you're $7 in debt and you have -$7 until you pay it off. That's less money than if you had -$3!
