To determine which graph represents the solution to the inequality \(-12 - 4x > -24\), we first need to solve the inequality step by step.
1. **Add 12 to both sides**:
\[
-4x > -24 + 12 \\
-4x > -12
\]
2. **Divide both sides by -4**. Remember, when we divide by a negative number, we need to flip the inequality sign:
\[
x < \frac{-12}{-4} \\
x < 3
\]
The solution to the inequality is \(x < 3\).
**Interpretation of the result:**
- This means that the graph should show all the values to the left of \(x = 3\) (not including 3 itself, since it's a strict inequality).
Now, when looking at the choices (A, B, C, D), you should look for:
- An open circle at \(x = 3\) to indicate that 3 is not included.
- A line or shading extending to the left from 3.
Please review the graphs provided to identify which one meets these criteria.
