give a brief explanation as to what kind of solution(s) you expect the following linear equations to have. transform the equations into simpler form if necessary.
also, be specific and write it the way you would write on paper its ok if you need to use words like add subtract or plus

Two linear equations can have zero, one, or infinitely many solutions.  Zero if the are parallel, have the same slope, and have different y-intercepts, one if they they have different slopes, infinite if they have the same slope and y-intercept (as they both describe the same line :P)

In this case if you factor the right side by three, you have the same exact expression as the left side.  This means that each side represent the same line and has infinitely many solutions.

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.

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
