the answer is c.
you have to multiply by -3 on both sides to get c on its own.
therefore, c is greater than or equal to -9.
in a, c is less than or equal to 9 so thats not the answer.
In b, c is greater than or equal to 9 but it has to be -9.
in d, c is less than or equal to -9.
the answer is c
Note that two negatives = one positive
- (-4 1/3) = + 4 1/3
Subtract
-9 + 4 1/3 = -4 2/3
-4 2/3 is your answer
hope this helps
Chris sees 6 fish.
Mike sees 3 more fish than Chris.
6 + 3 = 9
So on your bar, you have Chris's number of fish he saw, 6, and you have 3 being added to that on Mike's bar.
You could use a simple calculator it's only 10.
