Question

Which best explains whether 9 is a solution to the inequality x > 9

A. It is not a solution because 9 is not greater than 9.
B. It is not a solution because 9 is not less than 9.
C. It is a solution because 9 is greater than 9.
D. It is a solution because 9 is less than 9.

Answer 1

Answer: A would be the correct answer on edge 2020

Step-by-step explanation: Since 9 is not greater than or more less they would be equal so it would be the first one.

Answer 2

A. It is not a solution because 9 is not greater than 9.

Explanation:

The given inequality is
`x\:>\:9`.

We want to determine whether 9 is a solution to the given inequality.

We substitute 9 into the inequality to get;

`9\:>\:9`

This statement is not true, because 9 is not greater than itself.

Therefore 9 is not a solution because 9 is not greater than 9.

The correct choice is A.
