We can use what the question gives us to directly form a mathematical statement. When you multiply it by 3 (3x) and then subtract 10 (3x-10) you will get a number less than 5 (<5). Using this, our mathematical statement would look like this:

$3x-10$

To find the range of possible values, we must solve the inequality and isolate x.

$3x-10$

Add 10 to both sides

$3x-10+10$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}$

I hope this helps!

Cindy and Jose were in charge of selling tickets to the class play. Cindy sold 40 tickets and Jose sold 28 tickets. What is the

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

10:17

Step-by-step explanation:

If I am making a ratio of the tickets Cindy sold to the number of tickets sold in all it would be 40:68 but I would have to simplify and 40 divided by 2 = 20 and 68 divided by 2 = 34 then I would divide them both by two again to get our answer of 10:17! Hope this helps! Have a great day!
