Question

Select all of the following that can be a counterexample for the statement below.

If x is an integer, then x +2 >7.
-2
3
6
8

Answer 1

-2, 3

Explanation:

We are given the following inequality:

`x + 2 > 7`

Solving it, we have that its solution is:

`x > 7 - 2`

`x > 5`

So values of x of 5 and lower are counterexamples to this, which means that -2 and 3 are correct options to this question.
