Question

Which represents the solution set of 5(X+5) <85?

0x< 12
x>12
* <16
x>16

Answer 1

X can be equal to any number below thirteen (X<12)

Explanation:

When you subsitute X for thirteen (I choose this number because it is the first above 12) you get the equation 5(13+5). Once you solve it, you get 90, which is more than 85. Any number below 13 will get you an answer below 85.
