The correct answer is: 9 + c = 12
Further explanation:
Given
c = number of babies whose eyes are closed
So,
If the total number of babies are 12 then the sum of babies with eyes closed and eyes opened should be equal to 12.
As c is the number of babies with eyes closed and 9 is the number of babies with eyes opened then,

The equation can be used to find the number of babies whose eyes are open

Three babies have their eyes closed in the photograph.

6(x-2.5) ≥ 8-6(3.5+x)
A number is before a parenthesis. The first step is to multiply.
6(x-2.5) = 6x -15
8-6(3.5+x)
2(3.5+x)= 7+2x
6x-15≥7+2x
Now solve
6x-15≥7+2x
-2x -2x
(-2x+2x)= They cancel out
(6x-2x)= 4x
4x-15≥7
+15 +15
4x≥22
/4 /4
You get= x≥5.5
Maybe solve by dividing. I think 5/6. Sorry math isn’t my strong suit. I’m good at reading.
Well suppose you find out that numbers you put in your equation and you solved the equation correctly produces the negative number on your bank account it means nothing except - on your bank account.
