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.
Answer:
x= 1/256
Step-by-step explanation:
1. multiply both sides by 8x (answer: -5= 8x*-160)
2. divide both sides by -160 (answer: -5/-160 or 1/32 =8x)
3. divide both sides by 8 (answer: 1/256 = x
4. check your answer: -5/(8*1/256)= -160
82/4+20-15
82:4=20.5
20.5+20=40.5
40.5-15=25.5
I beleive it is 14 and 1 quarter in.
