Simply plug in the given values one by one to determine if the inequality is true. I'll do the first number:

Start with the given inequality.

Plug in

Combine like terms.

Now ask yourself: is the above inequality true? The answer is no. -11 is NOT greater than or equal to 8. So this means that is NOT a solution.

Do the same for the other values. If any value makes the inequality true, then it is a solution to the inequality.
