Question

Tell wether x=4 is a solution of x + _> 10

Answer 1

Given the inequality:

`x\text{ + 2 }\leq\text{ 10}`

We can find the values of x that satisfies the inequality by :

`\begin{gathered} \text{Collecting like terms} \\ x\text{ }\leq\text{ 10 - 2} \\ x\text{ }\leq\text{ 8} \end{gathered}`

Is x =4 a solution?

The answer is yes. This is because the range of values that satisfies the inequality include :

`8,\text{ 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 0, }\ldots\text{ -}\infty`
