Urgent select the correct solution set. x + 17 ≤ -3 {x | x ≤ -20} {x | x ≤ 14} {x | x ≥ -20}

The correct answer is the first solution set.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we substitute -20 into the equation we get

-20+17≤-3

-3≤-3

So,the inequality is right.

We can check the second one

14+17≤-3

31≤3 The inequality is false.

We can check the last one

-20+17≤-3

-3≤3 It works however there is a difference between the first one and the last one and that is the sign.For the first one there x≤-20 meaning the greatest number x can be is -20.For the last one x≥-20 which means -20 is the least value x can be.

If we substitude -21 into the equation we get

-21+17≤-3

-4≤-3

The inequality is false because -4 is not smaller than -3.

So,the right answer is the first solution set.

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
