Answer:
a < -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out inequality
-2a - 5 > 3
Step 2: Add 5 to both sides
-2a > 8
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2
a < -4
Here, we can see that any value of <em>a </em>less than -4 works. So <em>a</em> could be -124 or -5, or even -1271293587923857 and it would work.
What must be true is the expression will actually be adding 10 + (+ x), because of the two marks you have to make when subtracting by a negative.
The subtraction sign is also the negative sign. So in this case, the expression is also saying -x, which means there is two negative signs.
A double negative is a positive, so in this case the x will be turned to a positive integer.
If this is still too confusing, she can plug in a number to replace x. Let’s try it with -2:
Ex. 10 - (-2)= 12.
The two negative signs turn into one positive sign, AKA an addition sign. So, the above expression can be simplified as 10 + 2, or 12.
12÷5=2.4

Answer:
y= 34x- 2 +5 (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation: y = 27x-54 +5
We are to determine an equivalent equation of the form y=avx -h+k from the options given.
From the above, av = two digit coefficient of x. Hence av is constant.
h and k are also constant.
Let's check out the option to find the equation that is in the form y=avx-h+k
a) y=-273x + 2+5
In this equation, the coefficient of x is a 3-digit number. The option is wrong.
b) y=-3x+2 +5
In this equation, the coefficient of x is a 1-digit number. The option is wrong.
c) y=34x -2 +5
In this equation, the coefficient of x is a 2-digit number.
av = 34, h= 2 and k = 5
This equation is in the form of y=avx -h+k
The option is correct.
d) y=273/x-2 +5
This equation is not in the form of y=avx -h+k
The option is wrong.
