Answer:

Below

Explanation:

  1. First substitute the given value in the inequality

You would then get : 4(3) < (3) + 8

2. Do the math you would get 12 < 11

Which isn't true.

So the inequality is false and isn't a solution

Hopes this helps. :))

Hey there!

4k < k + 8

= 4(3) < 3 + 8

= 12 < 11

11 is less than 12

So, this statement is FALSE

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
