When building a square-shaped outdoor fireplace (same length "X" and width "x"), the ground around the fireplace needs 2 feet on each side for a safety zone of rock.
Write a polynomial for the total area that needs to be excavated for the fireplace plus the
rock safety zone.

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.

-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

50-38=12
