Question

Solve the inequality 7a + 13 < 48. A. a = 5 B. a ≤ 5 C. a < 5 D. a > 5

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

We know that 7a+13<48. This inequality can be simplified by rearranging.

Subtracting 13 from both sides: 7a<48-13

Therefore this becomes: 7a<35

Dividing both sides by 7: a<5

Since the inequality simplifies to a<5, the answer is C
