Question

Which values from the set {1,2,3,4,5} make the inequality true? n+2<6

Answer 1

1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

substitute the values from the set into the inequality and check validity.

n = 1

1 + 2 < 6

3 < 6 ← True

n = 2

2 + 2 < 6

4 < 6 ← True

n = 3

3 + 2 < 6

5 < 6 ← True

n = 4

4 + 2 < 6

6 < 6 ← False

n = 5

5 + 2 < 6

7 < 6 ← False

the values 1, 2 and 3 from the set make the inequality true
