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.

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2x-y&gt;1?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Any points in the shaded region including (2,-2) and (-3,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the line into slope intercept form and graph it.

2x-y > 1 becomes -y>1-2x. Divide both sides by -1 and you get y<2x-1. Graph it with the shaded area on the right and a dashed line.

Any point which falls within the shaded red of the graph is a solution. No points on the line since it is not equal to (its dashed) are solutions. Check the location of your points to verify that they fall within this area.

(-3, -8)  ---Yes

(-1, -3)  ---No

(0, 5)  --- No

(1, 6)  --- No

(2, -2) ---Yes

In how many ways can a committee of four men and four woman be formed from a group of seven men and eleven women?
-Dominant- [34]
Choosing 4 men from seven can be done in 7C4 = 35 ways
(There are 7 to choose from then 6 and 5 and 4 = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4
but we don’t want them in order so we need to divide by 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
Similarly choosing 4 women from 11 can be done in 11C4 = 330 ways.

Total number of ways to choose 4 men and 4 women = 35 x 330 = 11550
