Question

The distance, d, is greater than 5 miles. Write an inequality to represent the statement. How many solutions does the inequality represent?

Answer 1

d>5 the inequality represents any number greater than 5

Answer 2

Answer: The required inequality to represent the statement. will be :-

`d>5`, where d is distance in miles.

It has infinite number of solutions .

Explanation:

Given statement : "The distance, d, is greater than 5 miles. "

The required inequality to represent the statement. will be :-

`d>5`, where d is distance in miles.

d can be any value greater than 5 to infinity.

Thus,
`d\ \varepsilon\ (5,\infty)`

Therefore, It has infinite number of solutions since it does not have any upper bound.
