<h3>Solution (1):</h3>

<u>We know that:</u>

  • Given proportion: 2:12 = 5:28

Step-by step calculations:

<u>Simplify the LHS:</u>

  • 2:12 = 5:28
  • => 1:6 = 5:28

Remember:<em> (a:b = c:d) = (a x d = b x c)</em>

<u>Use cross multiplication:</u>

  • => 1:6 = 5:28
  • => 28 = 30 (False)
<h3>Solution (2):</h3>
  • No, because the cross products are not equivalent.
  • The proportion is not true, because 2/12 and 5/28 are not equivalent ratios.

What is the solution to this inequality?<br><br> −4x−8&gt;−20
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

x < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

−4x − 8 > −20

Add 8 to both sides.

-4x > -12

Divide both sides by -4. Remember that when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes.

-4x/(-4) < -12/(-4)

x < 3
