the multiplication of fractions is very straightforward, numerators across and denominators across, now, let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

Answer:
Numeric expressions apply operations to numbers. For example, 2(3 + 8) is a numeric expression. Algebraic expressions include at least one variable and at least one operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). For example, 2(x + 8y) is an algebraic expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the x. First, multiply 2 to both sides
-x/2(2) < 4(2)
-x < 4(2)
-x < 8
Isolate the x. Divide - 1 to both sides (because you are dividing a negative number, flip the sign).
-x/ -1 < 8/-1
x > -8 is your answer
hope this helps
In a right angle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
Here, the longest side is 25, the shorter sides are x and x+5.

The length of a side must be a positive number, so x=15.
The answer is C.
