First, make D= -2. It evaluates to: -6=E-3 add three to both sides and you get:-3=E

So, the first statement is not true. The second statement is obviously untrue because when you make D=100, 300=E-3 and E=303, which is not negative.

For the third statement, make D=0, to make it greater than -1. 0=E-3 E=3

This seems right, so we now try a few more numbers. D=1 3=E-3 E=6

The fourth statement is wrong. D has to be greater than -3, so let's use -2 .When D=-2, E=-3..

Nope. The third one is the only one that works.
