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.

SVEN [57.7K]

First they have to decide on a pair of pants and they have 8 different choices. For each of those choices they have a choice of 5 different shirts, so that gives them 8 times 5 = 40 different pant/shirt combinations. For each those 40 possibilities, they have 3 different ties they could select, so altogether they have 40 times 3 = 120 different outfits.
