False. It will yield a value of zero.
Hope this helps :)
Let us say, the number is "a"
one less than "a" is ... well a - 1
2/5 of that will be... well, 2/5 * ( a - 1)
one more than "a" is... well a + 1
3/5 of that is.. hmmm 3/5 * (a + 1)
now, we're told that, the first expression is "less than" the second one, thus

solve for "a", or make it "x" if you wish, same thing anyway
Answer:
Lines are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given lines are
Rearrange the equation in the slope intercept form that is
where
is the slope.
<em>First Line:</em>

compare it with 
slope (
) of first line 
<em>Second Line:</em>

divide both by 

compare it with 
slope
of second line 
Since slope of two lines are equal

hence these lines are parallel.
I've uploaded a photo with the answer because it's too hard to do this out on the computer.
