You are supposed to make a claim then prove it using evidence you are already given.
3 (x-7) = 9
X-7 = 3
X = 10
B is the answer
It would be c because that is what goes
You haven't provided any value, but I can tell you the solution set for the inequality.
First of all, expand both sides:

Add 3x to both sides:

Add 6 to both sides:

Which is of course equivalent to

Divide both sides by 9

So, every number smaller than 2 is part of the solution of this inequality.
First to get the equation you knew to understand one thing about perpendicular lines. The slope of the line is the opposite reciprocal of the perpendicular lines or the new slope is m = 10.
Then you use the formula
y = mx + b
you plug in your values from the point and the new slope.
(1,5) with new slope m
5= 10(1)+b
5-10=b
-5 = b
then make your new equation
y = 10x -5
that's your line that goes through point (1,5) and is perpendicular to the line given
