Question

If -3x + 5 > 4, which of the following cannot be a value of x? 7.11B-S)

A -3
B -1
C о
D 4

​

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Solving the inequality

- 3x + 5 > 4 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 3x > - 1

Divide both sides by - 3, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative value.

x <
`(1)/(3)`

The only value not less than
`(1)/(3)` is 4 → D
