I can't figure out this inequality 5+ 5(x + 4) < 20. Any tips on how I can solve?

Remember you can do anything to an equation or inequality as long as ou do it to both sides
also, when multiplying by a negative number in an inequality, don't forget to flip the sign

5+5(x+4)<20
minus 5 from both sides
5(x+4)<15
divide both sides by 5
x+4<3
minus 4 from both sides
x<-1

5/4 to 3/8 as a percent change

Digiron [165]

Well, what's the diffrence from 5/4 to 3/8?

$\bf \cfrac{5}{4}-\cfrac{3}{8}\qquad \stackrel{\textit{LCD is 8 clearly}}{\implies }\qquad \cfrac{10-3}{8}\implies \cfrac{7}{8}$

so, if we take 5/4 to be the 100%, what is 7/8 off of it in percentage anyway?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{5}{4}&100\\\\
\frac{7}{8}&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{5}{4}\quad }{\frac{7}{8}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{4}\cdot \cfrac{8}{7}=\cfrac{100}{x}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{40}{28}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{28\cdot 100}{40}$

Please Help I'm not really good at math

UkoKoshka [18]

The true statements about the triangles RST and DEF are: (a), (d) and (e)

<h3>How to determine the true statements?</h3>

The statement ΔRST ≅ ΔDEF means that the triangles RST and DEF are congruent.

This above implies that:

The triangles can be mapped onto each other by rigid transformations such as reflection, translation and rotation
The transformation does not include dilation
Corresponding sides are congruent

The above means that the possible true statements are: (a), (d) and (e)
