Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

the numerator of fraction is 1 less than its denominator. If the numerator is increased by 4 and the denominator is increased by 5, the new fraction becomes equivalent to 4/5. what is the original fraction?

Let n = numerator

d = denominator

n = d - 1

\frac{d - 1}{d}

\frac{d - 1 + 4}{d + 5} = \frac{4}{5}

\frac{d + 3}{d+ 5} = \frac{4}{5}

cross multiply

5(d + 3) = 4(d + 5)

5d + 15 = 4d + 20

d = 5

n = d - 1

5 - 1 = 4

original fraction 4/5

The point (-2, -1) satisfies which of the following inequalities? 5x - 2y + 1 > 0
DanielleElmas [232]

We can plug the given point in each equation and check if it satisfies it

1.

5x - 2y + 1 > 0

5(-2)-2(-1)+1>0

-10+2+1>0

-7>0 (false)

2.

-5x + 2y + 1 > 0

-5(-2) + 2(-1) + 1 > 0

10-2+1>0

9>0

so -5x + 2y + 1 > 0 satisfies the given point (-2,-1)
