Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Inequality,

0 > -3x - 2x

To Find: Solution of the inequality.

Consider,

0 > -3x - 2x

Group like terms in RHS

0 > ( -3 - 2 )x

0 > -5x

transpose RHS to LHS and LHS to RHS

-5x < 0

Divide both sides by -5

we know that in inequality multiplying and dividing negative number sign of inequality changes.

So,

x > 0/(-5)

x > 0

Therefore, Option C is correct.
