all real numbers less than 70

Question 6 options:

x ≤ 70


x < 70


x > 70


x ≥ 70

Answer 1

the second one, x < 70

Answer 2

B.
`x<70`

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to choose the correct option that represents the verbal expression: all real numbers less than 70.

First of all we will see the meaning of inequality signs.

`a\leq b` This sign means a is less than or equal to b.

`a<b` This sign means a is less than b.

`a>b` This sign means a is greater than b.

`a\geq b` This sign means a is greater than or equal to b.

Now let us represent our given verbal expression in an inequality.

`x<70`

Upon looking at our given choices we can see that option B is the correct choice.
