2+<9Choose the greatest number which will make this true.A. 9OB. 88Ос. 7 7D. 6OES

Answer 1

`6`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the greatest number which will make the inequality below true:

`2+\lvert\square\rvert<9_{}`

Let the missing number be x, so we have:

`2+x<9`

We have to solve the inequality:

`\begin{gathered} x<9-2 \\ x<7 \end{gathered}`

This means that the number must be less than 7.

The greatest number less than 7 is 6.

The answer is 6.
