Question

Select all of the values for a that would make the inequality 2x > 10 true.

1
3
5
8
30

Answer 1

Explanation:

2x > 10 Divide by 2

2x/2 >10/2

x > 5

x cannot be 5 or anything smaller.

In English, x >5 reads as x must be greater than 5. (It can't be equal to 5 because 5 is not greater than 5)

The only two items that work are

8 which is greater than 5 and

30 which is also greater than 5
