Answer:

x < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing this entirely with symbols, we get:

-5(x - 1) > -40

We must solve for x.

Carrying out the multiplication, we get:

-5x + 5 > -40, or

-5x > -45

Dividing both sides by -5 isolates x:

x < 9

Note that when working with an inequality such as this one, dividing both sides by a negative number requires changing the direction of the inequality symbol.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option d. PQ = YZ

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

Choose the most appropriate answer. The PQR triangle and the XYZ triangle are two congruent triangles. The angle P = the angle Y and PR = YX. Side pairs of the same length are ... a. PQ = XZ b. QR = YZ c. QR = XY d. PQ = YZ

we know that

If two triangles are congruent, then its corresponding sides and its corresponding angles are congruent

Corresponding sides are named using pairs of letters in the same position on either side of the congruence statement

we have that

$m\angle P=m\angle Y$
