Question

Which of the b values satisfy the following inequality?

5 < b - 3
choose all answers that apply
A: b=8
B: b=9
C: b=10

Answer 1

b and c

Explanation:

so to answer this one we just plug in all of the answer choices to see which ones satisfy the inequality

for a we plug in b and get 5<8-3 or 5<5 which is not true so it cant be a

next we plug in 9, 5<9-3 or 5<6 so b is a correct answer

next we plug in 10, 5<10-3 or 5<7 which is correct so c is also a correct answer

hope this helps (:
