3.5k − 0.75 > 20

3

4

5

6

Answer 1

6

Step-by-step explanation

The given inequality is

`3.5k - 0.75 \: > \: 20`

Group similar terms:

`3.5k \: > \: 20 + 0.75`

`3.5k \: > \: 20.75`

Divide both sides by 3.5 to get;

`k \: > \: (20.75)/(3.5)`

`k \: > \: 5.9`

to the nearest tenth.

The only number in the options which is greater than 5.9 is 6.
