Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this as a normal problem on the left.

(-7)x2+9 we do the multiplication first, then add. (Multiplication and division always happen before addition and subtraction, unless brackets are being used.)

->    -14+9=-5

Now that we know the left side of the equation is equal to -5, we must find which answer is GREATER than -5, because instead of an equal sign, there is a < meaning greater than.

4+[3x(-2)] for this one we do the multiplication first

4+(-6)=-2. -2> -5

Thus, it is the first answer, because that is the one that is greater than -5.
