To determine whether each number is a solution of the inequality, we substitute each number into the inequality and check if the inequality holds true.
a. 0:
5(0) + 3 >= -8
0 + 3 >= -8
3 >= -8
This is true, so 0 is a solution.
b. 2:
5(2) + 3 >= -8
10 + 3 >= -8
13 >= -8
This is true, so 2 is a solution.
c. 1:
5(1) + 3 >= -8
5 + 3 >= -8
8 >= -8
This is true, so 1 is a solution.
Therefore, all three numbers 0, 2, and 1 are solutions of the inequality.
