2/5 * (n - 1) < 3/5 * (n + 1)
2/5 * n - 2/5 < 3/5 * n + 3/5
- 2/5 - 3/5 < 3/5 * n - 2/5 * n
- 5/5 < 1/5 * n
- 1 < 1/5 * n      /*5
- 5 < n
n > - 5

n = x

The correct result would be B) <span>x > - 5.</span>

Answer:  The correct option is (B) x > -5.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number.

We are to find the numbers that are in the solution set of this problem.

Let, 'x' represents a number in the solution set.

Then, according to the given information, we have

\dfrac{2}{5}\times (x-1)

Thus, the solution set is represented by the number 'x' such that

x > -5.

Option (B) is correct.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

y-1=-3/4(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept,

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=-3/4(x-(-8))

y-1=-3/4(x+8)

V=2.5(6.4−t)
Alja [10]

Answer:

6.4 minutes ( or 6 minutes and 24 seconds)


Step-by-step explanation:

Filling up the jug means the empty space is 0, hence V = 0.

<em>We plug in 0 into V and solve for t to get the time required to fill it up:</em>

V=2.5(6.4-t)\\0=2.5(6.4-t)\\0=16-2.5t\\2.5t=16\\t=\frac{16}{2.5}\\t=6.4


Hence it will take 6.4 minutes to fill up the jugs.

<u>Note:</u> 0.4 minutes in seconds is  0.4*60=24 seconds
