Question

Which number are solutions of the inequality below? x - 7< -8 (Select that all apply) 1) 8 2) 1 3) -1 4) -3

Answer 1

To determine which numbers are solutions we need to solve the inequality:

`\begin{gathered} x-7<-8 \\ x<-8+7 \\ x<-1 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the numbers less than zero are solutions.

From the options given we conclude that -3 is solutions to the inequality, therefore the answer is 4.
