Mimi owes the bank a little less than $20. which choice could be her balance?
a.$20.75
b.-$20.75
c.-$19.75
d.$19.75

The answer is c. 

owing the bank means she has a NEGATIVE balance. therefore, choices (a) and (d) are wrong. 

(b) is negative, but the absolute value of -20.75 is 20.75. this would mean that she owes the bank 20.75, but this cannot be right as that is more than 20. 

(c)'s absolute value is 19.75, which is a little less than 20.

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

when multiplying or dividing by a negative on both sides you have to flip the inequality sign. this rule only applies to multiplying or dividing by a negative number in inequality equations. this rule is really important.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

Omg that is a big question and weird words and i’m only 5
