Question

Mr. Harper wrote an inequality on the board.

x/3 > 6

What value of x from the choices below, is a solution to the inequality?

2

3

18

19

Answer 1

`x=19` satisfies the inequality
`(x)/(3) > 6`.

Explanation:

The inequality is
`(x)/(3) > 6` .

Now multiply both sides by 3 then
`(3x)/(3) > 18`.

After solving it gives
`x > 18`.

Thus
`x=19` satisfies the given inequality.
