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
