Distribute 2(1-5a)
8a+2-10a<20
Combine like terms
-2a+2<20
Subtract 2 from both sides
-2a<18
Divide both sides by -2, when dividing by a negative number flip the sign
So the answer is a>-9

Okay. Basically, a is greater than or equal to 9.
First, you do distribute the 2.
8a+2-10a(< or =)20
Subtract two on both sides.
8a-10a(< or =)18
Then subtract 10a from 8a
-2a(< or =)18
Divide by two on both sides
and switch around the greater than sign since you divided by a <span>-2
</span>a(> or =)-9
<span>And if you check, -9 works, -8 works, and -10 doesn't work.</span>

Which expression is represented by the diagram? ( Marked 1-4, I can't paste the question.)
wel

Answer:

-6-(-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all the boxes are negative, and there are 6 boxes, the first part of the equation is -6.  Then since the last box is being taken away, we are subtracting it.  The last box is still negative though so the last part is -1.  Since -6 subtracted by -1 is -6-(-1), the answer is:

-6-(-1)
