-3(x - 3) > 5 - 5x
use the distributive property
-3x + 9 > 5 - 5x
subtract 5 from both sides
-3x + 4 > -5x
add -3x to both sides
4 > -2x
divide both sides by -2 to isolate x
x > -2
The correct answer is D. x > -2.

Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/10 simplified = 1/5
Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.
