Answer:

Colin has <em>8 sheets </em>left for his third class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total Number of pieces of papers = x

Number of pieces of papers used for 1st class = 5 fewer than half of the pieces in the pad

Writing the equation:

\text{Number of pieces of papers used for 1st class =} \dfrac{x}{2} -5 ...... (1)

Also, Given that number of pieces of papers used for the 2nd class are 2 more than that of papers used in the 1st class.

\text{Number of pieces of papers used for 2nd class =} \dfrac{x}{2} -5+2 = \dfrac{x}2 -3 ...... (2)

Now, number of pieces of papers left for the third class = Total number of pieces of papers in the pad - Number of pieces of papers used in the first class - Number of pieces of papers used in the first class

\text{number of pieces of papers left for the third class = }x-(\dfrac{x}{2}-5)-(\dfrac{x}{2}-3)\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{x}2-\dfrac{x}2+5+3\\\Rightarrow x-x+5+3\\\Rightarrow 8

So, the answer is:

Colin has <em>8</em> <em>sheets </em>left for his third class.

Which inequality is represented by this graph? 0 - 345&gt; x O 0 -34.5 0 -355 cx​
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the white dot on the graph:

From what it looks like, x is right between -35 and -34 x (which is -35.5).

If that is the case then none of the answers are correct since -35.5 is <u>equal or less</u> than x. (the sign looks like this:  "\leq" )

But if you have to choose one of the answers then number 4 (-35.5 < x) would be closest.
