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.

What is the third quartile of this data set ? 14,18,20,21,25,32,40,44,48
kotykmax [81]

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given data set - 14,18,20,21,25,32,40,44,48

We need to get the 3rd quartile

Step 2 :

To find the quartile's , we have to divide the data set into 4 equal quarters.

The 3rd cut will give the 3rd quartile

Step 3:

The median of this data set is at 25, there are 4 numbers below and above it.

Now we take the 2nd half of the set , after the median and take the median of it.

There are 4 numbers in the 2nd half 32,40,44,48. Cutting this into 2 , we have the cut to fall between 40 and 44. Hence taking the average of this will give the 3rd quartile.

The average of 40 and 44 is 42 .

Hence the 3rd quartile is 42.

Algebra 1 help please
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Short leg = 18 Long leg= 24 Hypotenuse= 30 My calculations were simple trial and error. I started with a trial of 10 for the short leg to begin with, averaging and estimating the appropriate proportions based off 6 additional increments. Sorry I don't have an algebraic method for you. Hope this has helped somewhat :)

Mrs.Lombardo.<span>if you do the math out, 4/5 and 2/3 give you an LCD (Least Common Denominator) of 15, so this means 4/5 = 12/15, and 2/3 = 10/15. 4/5 is greater than 2/3. </span>
