Respuesta :

The given inequality is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{3}x-(x+5)\geq7 \\ \frac{1}{3}x-x-5\geq7 \\ -\frac{2}{3}x-5\geq7 \\ -\frac{2}{3}x\geq7+5 \\ -\frac{2}{3}x\geq12 \\ \text{ Multiply both sides by }-\frac{3}{2}\text{ and change the sign of the inequality to }\leq \\ x\leq12\times(-\frac{3}{2}) \\ x\leq-18 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is choice C:

Mo is correct
