Question

options:

A: The solution is greater than 8/3 and less than 4.


B: The solution is greater than 4.


C: The solution is less than 8/3

D:None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer: B: The solution is greater than 4.

Reason

8/3 = 2.667 approximately which is greater than 1.

Since 8/3 > 1, it means multiplying anything positive with it will make the result larger than that original number.

In other words (8/3)x > x for any positive number x.

So (8/3)*4 > 4
