What is the greatest integer value of y for which 5y - 20 < 0?

2 answers:

6 0

5y - 20 < 0...add 20 to both sides
5y < 20...divide both sides by 5
y < 20/5
y < 4 (this states that y is less then 4)

Therefore, the greatest integer that y could be is 3 (because integers cannot be fractions, they have to be whole numbers)

Answer:

Greatest value of y is 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 5y - 20 < 0.

To find : what is the greatest integer value of y

Solution : We have given that

5y - 20 < 0.

On adding both sides by 20.

5y < 20 .

On dividing by both sides 5.

y < 4.

We can see y is less than 4 , it mean all the values of y must be less than 4 but not including 4 like 3 ,2, 1, 0, -1, -2 ........so on.

So , the greatest value is 3 .

It can not be in fraction because we asked about integer.

Therefore, greatest value of y is 3 .

The nakagin capsule tower has 140 modules and is 14 stories high if the modules were divided evenly among the number of stories

Burka [1]

To determine the number of modules that is in each story, we simply divide the number of modules by the number of stories.
= 140 / 14
Simplifying,
= 10 modules / story
Therefore, by even distribution we note that there are 10 modules per story.

Are triangles ADC and EBC congruent? triangle ADC is overlapping triangle EBC so that they both share angle ACE, point B is on s

Olin [163]

Answer:

Yes, by AAS ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the cases of congruence

- SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 corresponding sides in the 2nd Δ

- SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 corresponding

sides and including angle in the 2nd Δ

- ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ ≅
