Check the picture below.
recall that negative angles go "clockwise".
I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20
So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20
--------------------------------------------
So that's how we're able to go from this

to this

The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.
Answer: It should be D if im looking at this correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
Plain and simple
(1 gal, 2 qt, 3 pt) +
(1 gal, 3 qt, 7 pt) +
(1 gal, 3 qt, 3 pt)
= (3 gal, 8 qt, 13 pt)
= (3 gal, 14 qt, 1 pt)
= (6 gal, 2 qt, 1 pt)
The total volume of punch is 6 gallons, 2 quarts, 1 pint, or 6 5/8 gallons.
