Question

Look at the inequality 5x + 1 = 35. Choose True or False for each statement. True False a. 100 is not a solution because it is much greater than 35. b. 7.04 cannot be a solution because only whole numbers Can be solutions True .6 is ne is not a solution because the expression on the left side cannot equal 35. True d. There are an infinite number of solutions False e. 34 is not a solution because it is less than 35. True False

Answer 1

A. True. Because 5*(100) + 1 = 501 is greater than 35.

B. False. Firstly because 5*(7.04) + 1 = 36.2 is greater than 35. Secondly it is possible to find a decimal number as answer.

C. False. Because 5*(6 4/5) + 1 = 35, so, it is equal to the other side's value.

D. True. As the solution interval would be [6.8, ∞+).

E False. Because 5*(34) + 1 = 171 is greater than 35.
