Which value of `x` is in the solutions set of inequality `-2x +y ge 17 `

Options

A. `-8`
B. ` -6`
C. ` -4`
D. ` 12`

Answer

To solve the inequality \(-2x + y \geq 17\) and determine which value of \(x\) is in the solution set, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Rewrite the inequality as an equation
We start by rewriting the inequality as an equation to find the boundary line:
\[ -2x + y = 17 \]
