X + 1 < 5
x < 5 - 1
x < 4
u basically solve it like equations except for one important rule....with inequalities, when u multiply/divide by a negative number, the inequality sign changes directions. But we didn't have to deal with that rule in this particular problem
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Negative integer J
Required
Represent as an inequality of its inverse
The question didn't state if it's additive inverse or multiplicative inverse;
<em>Since the question has to do with negation, I'll assume it's an additive inverse</em>
<em></em>
The inverse of -J is +J
To represent as an inequality (less than or equal), we have:
Solving further, it gives
Answer:
simplified in the exact form: 8/3
simplified in decimal form: 2.6
simplified in mixed number form: 2 2/3
"Since the ratio is 5:7 you can think in total there was 12 equal blocks of money invested. 5 of those blocks belonged to Jim and 7 of those blocks belonged to Gail. Since they invested $3,600 and then made $6,450 in total there is $10,050. Divide that total into 12 equal blocks of $837.50 and 5 of those blocks belong to Jim. So he will get $4,187.50"
