Let the initial count of his fish be n.

He gives away 2/3 of these fish:  2n/3, leaving n/3 fish.

He gives away 2/5 of these remaining n/3 fish:  (2/5) times (n/3), or 

2n
--- , meaning that (3/5) times (n/3) fish are left.
15

(3/5)(n/3) = n/5 fish left = 30 fish.  Thus, n = 150 fish.

Which inequality statement describes the two numbers on a number line? "6 and a number 10 units to the left of 6" A) 10 > 6 B
almond37 [142]

Option D

- 4 < 6   inequality statement describes the two numbers on a number line

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, statement is "6 and a number 10 units to the left of 6"  

We have to find which inequality statement describes the two numbers on a number line?

Now, we know that, as we move towards left on the number line, the value goes decreasing by 1 for every one unit.

So, a number 10 units to the left of 6 will be 6 – 10 = - 4  

So, the two numbers are 6, -4 and we know that, - 4 < 6

Hence, option D is correct.

Can someone do this thanks and quickly:)
MArishka [77]

Answer:

This figure is a quadrilateral, and therefore the sum of the interior angles must be 360°.  Adding them up, we get 40° + 128° + x + 82° = 360°, or

168° + 82° + x = 360°, or  250° + x = 360.  Subtracting 250° from both sides results in 110°, which is the measure of x.

Graph the function: <br> f(x)=5/2x-6
MrMuchimi
Plug in any value for x and then you will get y.  Use the coordinates to plot.
Example
x= 2
5/2(2)-6
5-6
-1
(2,-1)
Then continue to do the same.
