The answer is c. It is because, when you divide by a negative number in an inequality, the sign changes.

3(x + 1) ≤ 5(x + 2) + 15



3x + 3 ≤5x + 10 + 15



3x - 5 ≤ 10 + 15 - 3



-2x ≤ 22



x ≥ −22|2



x ≥ -11

The answer is c and not D.
The inequality sign only changes when you divide with a negative number

The inequality sign changes only when you divide by a negative sign. So the sign is meant to change. That makes option C correct.
