Answer 1

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
