>-1 means 'Greater than -1'. So, the numbers like 0,1,2,3,.... and so on are signified by '>-1'. So, >-1 signifies all the numbers to the right of -1. That is, Option (d). Also, 0 is located to the right of -1.
Answer:
Lavania observed 39 fruit flies after 6 days of observation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of fruit flies on the first day of Lavania's study.
After 6 days she had nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study.
Five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study = 5x
Nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study=5x+9
The expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 5x+9
If she observes 20 fruit flies on the first day of the study, then x=6, then

The first step would be to divide the 12 in half to be 6 and then to square it to be 36 and then add 36 to each side of the equation.
add 36 to each side of the equation.
