I think that the answer is A because you are being asked for the tens place. Since you are looking to identify the place value, choice B and C are automatically eliminated because each place value increases by multiplying by ten. 20 and 60 are not multiples of 10. To identify the tens place, you would have to multiply by ten. I thought of this question in the sense of scientific notations.
X × x = x^2
x × -3 = -3x
3 × x = 3x
3 × -3 = -9
x^2 + 3x - 3x - 9
So I would agree with C because the -3x and the 3x cancel each other out. I hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 3x−12≥15
3x ≥ 15 + 12
3x ≥ 27
or x≥ 9
B) 2x−5≤9
2x ≤ 9 +5
2x ≤ 14
or x ≤ 7
C) 5x+8≤53
5x ≤ 53 -8
5x ≤ 45
or x ≤ 9
D) 3x−5≥16
3x ≥ 16 + 5
3x ≥ 21
or x ≥ 7
Have a good day!
The distribution property is the best justification.
