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.

A cube has a lateral area of 676 square feet.<br> What is the side length of the cube?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

13 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral Surface area of a cube is the area of 4 sides, front side, back side, left side face and right side face.

It can be seen seen from the attached figure as well.

Each face in a cube is a square. And each side in the cube is equal.

So, Lateral surface area is nothing but 4 \times area of a square.

And we know that area of a square = side^{2}.

Hence, Lateral surface area = 4 \times side^{2}

As per question:

4 \times side^{2} = 676

side^2 = 169 \\\Rightarrow side = 13

Hence, side length of cube = 13 feet.

Only thing I need to know is what to do for the x on y = x + 3 and y = x
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Think of y = mx + b,

With y = x + 3, m = 1 so the slope is one, and b = 3 which is the y-intercept, so plot the point (0,3) on the y-axis.

To find the next point to plot go up 1 and over to the right 1 because slope is rise over run.

With y = x, the slope is still 1, but there is no y-intercept, so you plot the point (0,0), and to find the next point on that line, go up 1 and over the right 1 because m=1
