Question

Part A: Explain why x = 9 makes 2x − 1 ≤ 17 true but not 2x − 1 < 17. (5 points) Part B: What value from the set {6, 7, 8, 9, 10} makes the equation 2x + 8 = 26 true? Show your work. (5 points)

Answer 1

It is because when x = 9 it is equal to 17 which is ok because of the sign that explains that the left side needs to be less or equal to 17. 7 makes that equation work because it will then be equal to 26

Explanation:

if you need any more work just show the basic addition of these numbers
