Answer:
They will be picked up at 2
yards above sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider sea level as reference and positions above sea level as positive and below sea level as negative.
With respect to this reference,
the position of top most point is +17
yards
and the position of lower most point is -13
yards
⇒ The position of midpoint is 
= +2 
∴ <u>They will be picked up at 2
yards above sea level</u>
Assuming we're dealing with
, which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.
We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.
-------------------------------------
Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.
An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5
What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below
- -2x < 10
- 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
- -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
- 2x > -10
- x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
- x > -5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
$1800 is spent on a washing machine. This number never changes, so we just need to add that to our annual total
$89 is spent every year. This means that this number needs to be with our variable, x, as it is dependent on the number of years that occur. When we put these two things together, we get the following equation:
