Hi!
So obviously we have to divide each side by -5. It's pretty simple! Let me show you...
-125 ≥ -135
-125/-5 ≥ -135/-5
dividing 2 negative numbers make a positive
25 ≥ 27
Now that the expression has changed, we have to flip the inequality sign.
25 ≤ 27

Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
x=3, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y =7
3x-4y =5
Multiply the first equation by 4 so we can eliminate y
4(2x+y =7)
8x +4y =28
Add this to the second equation
8x +4y =28
3x-4y =5
----------------
11x = 33
Divide by 11
11x/11=33/11
x=3
Now we still need to find y
2x+y=7
2(3)+y =7
6+y=7
Subtract 6 from each side
6-6+y=7-6
y= 1
Answer:
The number is 8 because 
And if you add 4, you get 20
Hence, the number is 8
The bookshelf would be 4 feet 3 inches.
The answer for your question is x=-1
