Question

True or False?

k = 3/5 is a solution to the inequality 15k + 3 < 15.
True
False

Answer 1

True.
So long as k<4/5, the inequality is satisfied and so the value can be classed as a solution if i'm not mistaken.

Answer 2

15k+3<15 subtract 3 from both sides

15k<12 divide both sides by 15

k<12/15

k<4/5

Since 3/5<4/5, k=3/5 is a solution to the inequality.

So the statement is True.
