I have a doubt regarding the answer of the question. I got two answers. One is
C, another one is A.
(2x+1) = (2(-0.5) + 1) = (-1+1) = 0
You can’t divide by zero.
For manipulating QC choices, make sure you aren’t dividing by zero. Always check if the number is negative or zero, and then proceed. It’s always safer to add/subtract things as the variables or the numbers itself don’t impact the inequality/equation.
