Read the paragraph. [1] The 1992 Olympic Games took place in Barcelona, Spain. [2] This marked the first year that professional

basketball players were permitted to represent their countries in the games. [3] Previously, only amateur players were allowed to participate such as college athletes. [4] The US squad was called “The Dream Team” because it consisted of some of the best players in the history of the game, including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird. Which sentence should be revised to improve this paragraph’s sentence fluency?Which are correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)? Select two options. x < 5 –6x – 5 < 10 – x –6x + 15 < 10 – 5x A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right. A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at negative 5 and a bold line starts at negative 5 and is pointing to the left.

The sentence that needs to be revised to improve the paragraph's sentence fluency is: sentence 3.

The two correct representations for the inequality can be -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x OR x < 5

In a grammatical context, the correct usage of punctuation marks and active voice is required and needed to be taken into consideration by the writer for effective communication to the reader.

The correct form of the sentence in sentence 3 should be:

  • "Previously, only amateur players, like college athletes, were allowed to participate."

The inequality given is -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x). Using the simple algebraic method to solve the given inequality, we have:

= -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x)

= -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

By collecting the like terms, we have:

= 15 - 10 < -5x + 6x

= x < 5

Therefore, the two correct representations for the inequality can be -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x  OR  x < 5

NOTE: The third question is a repetition of an incomplete question.

[Help Asap, I will mark brainliest] In the figure below, g, || l. Find the values of y and x.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 23

y = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

70 and  3x+1 are alternate exterior angles and that means they are equal

70 =3x+1

Subtract 1 from each side

69 = 3x

Divide by 3

69/3 =3x/3

23 =x

70 and y are same side exterior angles and that means they are supplementary ( add to 180)

70+y = 180

y = 180-70

y = 110

Write an equation for the line parallel to the given line that contains C<br> C(2,6); y= -4x + 7
MrRa [10]

Answer:

y=-4x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

y=-4x+7

This is the equation of the given line in slope intercept form

The slope is m=-4

step 2

Find the slope of the line parallel to the given line

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

therefore

The slope of the line parallel to to the given line is m=-4

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-4

C\ (2,6)

substitute

y-6=-4(x-2)

step 4

Convert to slope intercept form

y-6=-4(x-2)

isolate the variable y

y-6=-4x+8

y=-4x+8+6

y=-4x+14

How can you make 2 cups of chocolate milk a gallon?<br> I know that 32 = a gallon
const2013 [10]
Well you could use the equation 32=2x or 32=(2*x) but if you're looking for an answer that is other than turning this into an equation, then it would be impossible to find an answer. I hope this helped ^^
