5 0

Answer:

201 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's the first 300 positive integer multiples of 5, then the last integer will be: 300 × 5 = 1500

While the first is 5.

The sequence is like this;

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, .. 1500

Since for every 2 integers that are multiples of 5, 1 will include the digit 5, then it means that, number of times the unit place will have 5 is; 300/5 = 150 times

Now, between 5 and 100, the only value that has 5 in it's tense place is 50 & 55.

So for every 100 numbers, we have 2 times to write 5 in the tens place. Thus, for 1500 numbers, we will write 5 in the tens place: 1500/100 × 2 = 30 times

Now, for the hundreds place, from 500 and 600, we have 21 multiples of 5 inclusive of 500 and 600 but since we want the one that has 5 in the hundreds place, then it is 20 as they all start with 5 excluding 600.

Also, from 1000 to 1500, the only number that has 5 in its hundreds place is 1500.

Thus,total times 5 is written in the hundreds place = 21 times

Total number of times 5 is written = 150 + 30 + 21 = 201 times

-1+5x≥-16 I dont know how to solve
olasank [31]

Answer:  x \ge -3

Explanation:

Follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what's happening to x.

We first add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5 to fully isolate x.

Refer to the steps below to see what I mean.

-1 + 5x \ge -16\\\\5x \ge -16+1\\\\5x \ge -15\\\\x \ge -15/5\\\\x \ge -3\\\\

The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. The only time it flips is when you divide both sides by a negative number.

The solution set for x is anything -3 or larger.

If x was an integer, then we could say the solution set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}
