Question

Let a, b, and c be constants, and let x be a variable. Which of the following is

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

$a(x+b)$

Where a<0.

We would like to solve for a. So, let’s divide both sides by a.

Notice that a<0. Therefore, a is negative. Hence, we must flip the sign since we are dividing by a negative. This yields:

$x+b>\frac{c}{a}$

Now, we will subtract b from both sides. Therefore, our inequality is:

$x>\frac{c}{a}-b$

Hence, our answer is C.
