Question

Is b = 5 a solution to the inequality below?
b<1
yes
no

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

The given inequality is b < 1. We determine whether or not b = 5 is a solution by substituting 5 for b and asking ourselves whether the resultant inequality is true or not:

5 < 1 is FALSE and so b = 5 is NOT a solution of the given inequality.
