x < -23/2

Step-by-step explanation:

you open the bracket first

LHS

3-(2x - 5)

-6x+15

RHS

-4(x+2)

=-4x-8

therefore:

-6x+15 < -4x-8

By collecting the like terms

-6x+4x < -8-15

=-2x<-23

Divide both side by -2x

-2x/-2 < -23/-2

x < -23/2

10. Write a word problem for this equation:<br> n ($25) = $125

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The word problem is "How many $25 are there in $125?"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n(\$25) = \$125$

Required

Write a word problem for the expression

We start by solving the given equation

$n(\$25) = \$125$

Divide both sides by $25

$\frac{n(\$25)}{\$25} = \frac{\$125}{\$25}$

$n = \frac{\$125}{\$25}$

$n = 5$

This implies that there are 5, $25 in $125

<em>Hence; The word problem is "How many $25 are there in $125?"</em>

What happens to the volume of a square pyramid if the base dimensions remain the same, but the height is cut to one third of the

Nadya [2.5K]

The volume becomes 1/3 of the original. With a rectangular base, volume of a pyramid is V=(length*width*height)/3. Cutting the height to 1/3 of the original length will make the total volume 1/3 of the original volume.
