Okay so for number 3, you have to do the top work first.
3: POSITIVE 2!! first, you do the stuff inside the parentheses first because of P(parentheses)EMDAS. so, 14-2-10! -2-10 is -12 and then plus positive 14 is +2. but, the negative sign outside of the parentheses makes that +2 a -2.
but, you cant forget the -12 outside. you have to do -12-2 which gets you -14. then, this is easy! -14 divided by -7 is a positive 2!
5: POSITIVE 3!! again, do the stuff in the parentheses first!! -2-4 is -6. then, -6 x 2 is -12! so, divide -12 by -4 and you get a positive 3!
Either SSS or not possible
Mark if correct!
Answer:
C is the correct answer due to two-step inequality process
Step-by-step explanation:
Your inequality is: 5a + 18 < -27
First, you must remember that the < or > shall not be shaded in.
You could automatically eliminate answer A.
Now you need to do two-step inequalities which is the same thing as two-step equations but with an inequality sign.
5a + 18 < -27
5a < -27-18
5a < -45
**Now, here's something important: If you are multiplying with negatives while dealing with inequalities you must switch the sign to its opposite.
-9 > a
You need to find a number line that has numbers less than -9. It could be -10, -11, -12, -122, etc.
C is the correct answer.
