I don't know the official answer but I can confirm for you that it is either C or D. I just don't remember how to determine which way the sign goes. Sorry
Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+10=-26
Subtract 10 from each side
4x+10-10=-26-10
4x = -36
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = -36/4
x = -9
The answer to the first part is 172 plants per row with a remainder of 3 plants
The answer to the second part is, Martin knows that 7 goes into 700 100 times, 7 goes into 490 70 times, and 7 goes into 17 twice with a remainder of 3. He then adds 100 70 and 2 together to get 172 with a remainder of 3.
