Answer:
A=5
Step-by-step explanation:
5-3a<-10 is the same as
5-3a=-10
So to solve it just solve for a.
subtract 5 from both sides
-3a=-15
dived -3 from both sides to get a alone
A=5
hope this helps!

Answer: Choice C) 2 - 6 + 18 - 54 + ...</h3>
Explanation:
The three dots or ellipses indicate the pattern goes on forever to infinity. So the answer is between choices A and C based on this alone. Choice A is a sequence while choice C is a series. A sequence is simply a list of values often in some kind of mathematical pattern. A series is where you add values from a sequence together. This distinction rules out choice A and makes choice C the answer.
Note: choice C is a geometric series with first term 2 and common ratio -3. The infinite series diverges because r = -3 is outside the range -1 < r < 1.
B = bees, w = wasps, x = hornets
b + w + x = 184
b = 3x - 9
w = x + 28
(3x - 9) + (x + 28) + x = 184...combine like terms
5x + 19 = 184
5x = 184 - 19
5x = 165
x = 165/5
x = 33 <== points scored by Hornets
