What are the possible answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4 x + 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probably close to 5-4x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. -4x-10 b. 4x+5 c. 4x-5 d.-4x+5 i came out with -4x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A negative divided by another negative gives you a positive , so it would be -4x+5 So D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope its D. -4x +5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8x/-2 -10/-2 = -4x + 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):
