To solve this inequality, you must first isolate the term that includes the variable, which is -1/2x. This can be done by first subtracting 1/3 from both sides.

Before you can subtract 1/3 from 3/5, however, you must first convert the fractions to have common denominators.
A common denominator for 1/3 and 3/5 is 15. This is the LCM, least common multiple, of 3 and 5, making it the lowest possible common denominator.
Using this common denominator, 1/3 changes to 5/15 and 3/5 changes to 9/15.

Now we can subtract these equivalent fraction for 1/3, which is 5/15, from the fraction equivalent to 3/5, which is 9/15.
9/15 - 5/15 = 4/15
This fraction can't be simplified any further so this step is done.

Now the inequality is -1/2x > 4/15.
The next step is to isolate x by dividing both sides by -1/2.
An important note to remember when doing this step is that whenever dividing by a negative in inequalities, you must flip the inequality symbol.
In this case, that means dividing both sides by -1/2 and changing the greater than sign (>) to a less than sign (<).

-1/2x ÷ -1/2 = x

4/15 ÷ -1/2
When dividing fractions, find the reciprocal of the second fraction then multiply.
The reciprocal of -1/2 is -2/1, or -2 when simplified.
4/15 • -2 = -8/15

This means x < -8/15.
This has x isolated and the inequality simplified as far as possible.
That means this is the answer.

Answer:
x < -8/15

Hope this helps!

Help please with math​
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

If they want irregular fractions its

1= 14/4 .       2= 11/2          3= 14/8

4= 21/4 .      5= 27/6 .       6= 125/13

7= 61/9 .      8= 69/9 .       9= 84/8

If they just want the few simplified then

1= 3 1/2

3= 1 3/4

5= 4 1/2

8= 7 2/3

9= 10 1/2

HELP! 7th grade math! GIVE CORRECT ANSWER AND YOU WILL GET BRAINLIEST!!
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

ED = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Observing the figure given to us, we can deduce the following:

=>CE = EA (because point E is the midpoint of CA)

Therefore, if CE = EA = x unit, CA = 2x

=>Also, CD = DB (because point D is the midpoint of CB)

Therefore, if CD = DB = y, CB = 2y

Thus, CA/CE = CB/CD = 2 (2x/x = 2y/y)

Going by the above ration we got comparing the ratio of the corresponding sides of ∆CAB and ∆CED (2:1), we can conclude that ∆CAB ~ ∆CED

Using the ratio of the corresponding sides of ∆CAB to ∆CED = (2:1), measure of segment ED is calculated below:

AB/ED = 2/1

8/ED = 2/1

Cross multiply

8 × 1 = 2 × ED

Divide both sides by 2

8/2 = ED

ED = 4 units

For a data consisting of 9 observations, the sum of 9 values is 360 and the sum of squares of deviation taken from the mean is 2
maxonik [38]

Answer:

4 ; 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of observations, n = 9

Let observations = X

ΣX = 360

The mean, (m) is calculated using the formula :

m = ΣX / n

m = 360 / 9

m = 4

Σ(X - m) = 288 (sum of square of deviation )

Variance is calculated using the formula :

[Σ(X - m) / n]

Variance = Sqrt(288 / 9)

Variance = 32
