M is a negative number. Which statement is correct?
Choose only one answer.
A m + 9 is always positive
Bm + 9 is always negative
c m + 9 cannot be zero
D m + 9 could be positive or negative or zero​

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples

-10 +9 = -1

-8 +9 = 1

-9+9=0

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
