5 0

= -3/2 * -5 1/4
convert 5 1/4 to improper fraction

= -3/2 * -21/4
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

= (-3*-21)/(2*4)
multiply in parentheses

= 63/8
convert back to mixed number

= 7 7/8

ANSWER: Since the exact answer is the mixed number 7 7/8, a reasonable estimate is 8.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 3's are the same on either side, you need to find a number that, when multiplied by 9, yields 18. The only number that satisfies that is 2, which is the answer. Hope this helps!

If your solving for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:

-24 ≤ 3x - 9 First add 9 on both sides

-24 + 9 ≤ 3x - 9 + 9

-15 ≤ 3x Then divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

$\frac{-15}{3} \leq \frac{3x}{3}$

-5 ≤ x [or x ≥ -5 if you prefer "x" to be on the left side]
