Answer:
Use the distributive property on each side of the equation.
Explanation:
PEMDAS
A -17 3/4< x so u have to simplify-17 3/4 by multiply 17*4=68+3=71/4 so the x stands for -71/4 and it has to be 4 as the denominator because it it the denominator for the question.
B, C, D are also the same answer-17/4
And for 15 3/4<-2+ x it is also the same answer
I suppose what makes this question annoying is that there is the question mark so what i'll do first is substitute the question mark with x. also, there are annoying parenthesis so we'll first eliminate the ones we don't need. now we just have to solve for x.
-3.4 + (-8 + 2) = (x + (-8)) + 2
adding a negative number is subtracting that number so x + (-8) = x - 8
-3.4 + 2 - 8 = x - 8 + 2
-3.4 -6 = x - 6
x = -3.4
make sure you are aware that the negative sign belongs to the number after it so -2 + 4 is not -(2+4) = -6 but rather 4 - 2 = 2.
let me know if you have any questions!
It's irrational, number and intiger
