Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute: -4/5x + 7 = -5
Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: -4/5x = -5 - 7
Calculate the sum or difference: -4/5x = -12
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable: x = -12 × (-5/4)
Remove the parentheses: x = 12 × 5/4
Cross out the common factor: x = 3 × 5
Calculate the product or quotient: x = 15
So the answer is: x = 15

Option C
Math teacher would need to buy 130 prizes
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Math teacher currently has 109 students and the box has 88 prizes in it
The math teacher likes to keep at least twice as many prizes in the box as she has students
So, she wants the number of prizes to be twice the number of students
Therefore,
number of prizes = 2 x 109 students
number of prizes = 2 x 109 = 218 prizes
The box has 88 prizes in it
Therefore, number of prizes she would need to buy is:
⇒ 218 - 88 = 130
Thus she would need to buy 130 prizes
