Verified Answer :

-12 = x+5<=-4 -12+5=-7 so -7<-4 So the conclusion is that negative seven is less than negative four.

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an inequality that has –12 in its solution set.

Solve each of the given inequalities.

Option A,

\(x+6<-8\)

Subtract 6 from both sides.

\(x+6-6<-8-6\)

\(x<-14\)

Since -12>-14, therefore -12 is not included in the solution set of x+6<-8.

Option B,

\(x+4\geq -6\)

Subtract 4 from both sides.

\(x+4-4\geq -6-4\)

\(x\geq -10\)

Since -12<-10, therefore -12 is not included in the solution set of \(x+4\geq -6\).

Option C,

\(x-3>-10\)

Add 3 on both sides.

\(x-3+3>-10+3\)

\(x>-7\)

Since -12<-7, therefore -12 is not included in the solution set of x-3>-10.

Option D,

\(x+5\leq -4\)

Subtract 5 from both sides.

\(x+5-5\leq -4-5\)

\(x\leq -9\)

Since -12<-9, therefore -12 is  included in the solution set of \(x+5\leq -4\).

Therefore, the correct option is D.
