Final answer:
The value of x below 48 is represented by the inequality x < 48, meaning that x is any value less than 48.
the correct answer is C. x < 48.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question appears to be asking about the value of x in relation to 48 degrees, which is likely a misunderstanding of the question's intent, as mentioning degrees suggests a context of geometry or trigonometry.
However, since the question does not provide such context and directly asks what the value of x is below 48, the correct answer is C. x < 48. This inequality simply states that the value of x is anything less than 48; it doesn't specify whether this is in degrees or another unit.
