Answer:

C is the correct answer due to two-step inequality process

Explanation:

Your inequality is: 5a + 18 < -27

First, you must remember that the < or > shall not be shaded in.

You could automatically eliminate answer A.

Now you need to do two-step inequalities which is the same thing as two-step equations but with an inequality sign.

5a + 18 < -27

5a < -27-18

5a < -45

**Now, here's something important: If you are multiplying with negatives while dealing with inequalities you must switch the sign to its opposite.

-9 > a

You need to find a number line that has numbers less than -9. It could be -10, -11, -12, -122, etc.

C is the correct answer.
