Which value of x will make the following statement false?
*<5.3

A. 16
B. 5.3
C. 0
D. -8.95

Answer 1

A [and B]

Explanation:

If x < 5.3 then anything higher than 5.3 makes the statement false.

16 is too high and therefore is the most obvious fallacy.

5.3 would actually make x=5.3 and therefore x wouldn't be less than 5.3 making it also false but this really depends on what your teacher is looking for.

0 is true.

-8.95 is true.

If there is any clarification in the problem you can provide I can give a more definite answer but now it is really a coinflip!
