To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-5c - 1 < \( \frac{c}{-3} \)
-3 x (-5c - 1) < c
(-3 x -5c) + (-3 x -1) < c
15c + 3 < c
15c + 3 - c < 0
15c - c < -3
14c < -3
c < \( \frac{-3}{14} \)
c < -\(\frac{3}{14}\)

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 4 x 1
v = 20

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c² = a² + b²
c² = 2² + 5²
c² = 4 + 25
c² = 29
c = \( \sqrt{29} \)

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 1 = \( \frac{9}{2} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
