Three guys rent a hotel room for the night. When they get to the hotel they pay the $30 fee, then go up to their room. Soon the

bellhop brings up their bags and gives the lawyers back $5 because the hotel was having a special discount that weekend. So the three lawyers decide to each keep one of the $5 dollars and to give the bellhop a $2 tip. However, when they sat down to tally up their expenses for the weekend they could not explain the following details:
Each one of them had originally paid $10 (towards the initial $30), then each got back $1 which meant that they each paid $9. Then they gave the bellhop a $2 tip. HOWEVER, 3 • $9 + $2 = $29.

The guys couldn't figure out what happened to the other dollar. After all, the three paid out $30 but could only account for $29.

Can you determine what happened?

-5(x - 1) greater than -40
sergey [27]

Answer:

x < 9  

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing this entirely with symbols, we get:

-5(x - 1) > -40

We must solve for x.  

Carrying out the multiplication, we get:

-5x + 5 > -40, or

-5x > -45

Dividing both sides by -5 isolates x:

x < 9  

Note that when working with an inequality such as this one, dividing both sides by a negative number requires changing the direction of the inequality symbol.

Which statement best explains whether △ABC is similar to △DEF?
Sati [7]

A). They are not similar, because 6/13 is not equal to 8/20

For triangles to be similar, the ratios of sides need to be the same (shortest to shortest, middle to middle, longest to longest). The shortest sides are 6 and 13, respectively, the middle ones are 8 and 20. Because 6/13 is not equal to 8/20, the triangles are not similar.
