Question

Which symbol creates a true sentence when x equals 3?

8•3-4x_7(10-x)
A.<
B.=
C.>

Answer 1

Hi Tysona90!
Let's write it with the X as a 3
8*3-4*3_7(10-3) Now let's solve it 8*3 is 24 and 4*3 is 12 so then we do 24-12 which is 12. So now we have 12_7(10-3) so let's solve the other half which is 10-3 is 7 times 7 (since parenthesis can also mean multiplication) which is 49 so we now have 12_49 which means the answer is A.
Hope this helps!
