Answer

The correct graph is $C.$

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow -6g+2\geq 20$ Subtract $2$ from each side. $\Rightarrow -6g+2-2\geq 20-2$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -6g\geq 18$ Divide each side by $-6$. Reverse the inequality symbol. $\Rightarrow \frac{-6g}{-6}\leq \frac{18}{-6}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow g\leq -3$ The solution is $ g\leq -3$. Use a close circle because $-3$ is a solution. Shade the number line on the left side. Hence, the correct graph is $C.$
