You can check whether you have the correct direction of the inequality sign by substituting a number for p. Any value of p less than –8 should result in a true statement. Try p=−10 .

Enter your responses in the boxes.

1) 2/5

2) zero=0/1

3) zero=0/2

4) -4/5

5) undefined=3/0

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

add the numbers under frequency to find the total number:

5 + 8 +7 + 4 + 0 +1 = 25

the answer is 25.
