Answer:

1. 5 is a solution to the inequality

2. 8 is a solution to the inequality

3. q=20 is a possible solution to the inequality

4. t=28 is not a possible solution to the inequality

Explanation:

1.

1+f<7

subtract 1 from both sides of the inequality;

f<7-1

f<6

The value of f should therefore be strictly less than 6. From the alternatives given only the number 5 meets this condition and is thus a solution to the inequality.

2.

g-3>4

add 3 to both sides of the inequality;

g>4+3

g>7

The value of g should therefore be strictly greater than 7. From the alternatives given only the number 8 meets this condition and is thus a solution to the inequality.

3.

q-2>16

add 2 to both sides of the inequality;

q>16+2

q>18

The value of q should therefore be strictly greater than 18. Consequently, q=20 is a solution to the inequality since;

20>18

4.

t-7<10

add 7 to both sides of the inequality;

t<10+7

t<17

The value of t should therefore be strictly less than 17. Consequently, t=28 is not a solution to the inequality since;

28 is not less than 17.
