Which value below is not included in the solution set for the inequality statement?

x + 4 ≥ 1/2 (x - 3)

-3

-1

-17

2

The answer is C. - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution that does not work, first solve for x.

x + 4 ≥ 1/2 (x - 3)

x + 4 ≥ 1/2x - 3/2

1/2x + 4 ≥ - 3/2

1/2x ≥ - 11/2

x > - 11

So the only number in the possible answers that is not greater than or equal to - 11 is - 17. Therefore, C must be the answer.
