Question

Which value of x makes the inequality -* < 8 true?

A
X = 32
B
X = 35
x = 34
D
= 2

Answer 1

D: x = 2

Explanation:

Go down the multiple choices answers and plug each value in for x until the inequality is true:

A:

1/4(32) < 8

1/4 × 32/1 < 8

32/4 < 8

8 < 8

8 is not less than 8 so this is false (8 = 8).

B:

1/4(35) < 8

35/4 < 8

8 3/4 < 8

8 3/4 is not less than 8 so this is false (8 3/4 > 8).

C:

1/4(34) < 8

34/4 < 8

8 2/4 < 8

8 2/4 is not less than 8 so this is false (8 2/4 > 8).

D:

1/4(2) < 8

2/4 < 8

2/4 is less than 8 so this is true (2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5 > 8).
