He may be wrong. If he was wrong, this is the example.
0 < -10x
If we were to divide both sides by -10, even though the answer would be undefined or just end up as zero, it is just a common rule to always flip the sign whenever you divide or multiply by a negative.
Don't quote me on it, but I think I'm right.
Hope this helped!

Thus the third option is the correct answer.
You almost had it instead of positive 35 it should be negative 35
so the answer should be -35a5b5c5

According to the "BODMAS rule" firstly performing "division".
![\begin{gathered} \\ \\ \quad\dashrightarrow{\sf \bigg[ \bigg( - 17 \bigg) + \dfrac{4}{2} \bigg] \div \bigg[ \dfrac{8}{ - 8} + 4 \bigg]} \\ \\ \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%5Cquad%5Cdashrightarrow%7B%5Csf%20%5Cbigg%5B%20%5Cbigg%28%20-%2017%20%5Cbigg%29%20%2B%20%5Cdfrac%7B4%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cbigg%5D%20%5Cdiv%20%5Cbigg%5B%20%5Cdfrac%7B8%7D%7B%20-%208%7D%20%2B%204%20%5Cbigg%5D%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)

Now, performing "addition and opening round brackets".
![\begin{gathered} \\ \\\quad\dashrightarrow{\sf \bigg[ - 17 + 2 \bigg] \div \bigg[ - 1 + 4 \bigg]} \\ \\ \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%5Cquad%5Cdashrightarrow%7B%5Csf%20%5Cbigg%5B%20-%2017%20%2B%20%202%20%5Cbigg%5D%20%5Cdiv%20%5Cbigg%5B%20-%201%20%2B%204%20%5Cbigg%5D%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)

Now, opening "square brackets".

Now, "dividing 15 by 3".




∴ The Answer is -5.



<u>BODMAS</u> rule is an acronym used to remember the order of operations to be followed while solving expressions in mathematics.
It stands for :-
- ↠ B - Brackets,
- ↠ O - Order of powers or roots,
- ↠ D - Division,
- ↠ M - Multiplication
- ↠ A - Addition,
- ↠ S - Subtraction.
It means that expressions having multiple operators need to be simplified from left to right in this order only.


First, we solve brackets, then powers or roots, then division or multiplication (whatever comes first from the left side of the expression), and then at last subtraction or addition.
- ↠ Addition (+)
- ↠ Subtraction (-)
- ↠ Multiplication (×)
- ↠ Division (÷)
- ↠ Brackets ( )
