Answer 1

Answer:

it is true

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose we take x=3 and y=8 then 3*8=24 and 5*8=40 so when x<5 then xy<5y

Answer 2

Answer:

x=1 y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you got this problem in the book "Geometry" for 9th grade (I think) on page 35 excersice 14 it says:

"Provide a counterexample to show that each statement is false. You may use word or a diagram."

If you are searching for this answer then you can prove the statement false by saying x=10 and y=1.

1*2>5*2 --> (2>10) Wich is false

(1>5)Is false

You use x as 1 and y as 2 or any number above.
