Question

Which numbers in the set (2, 3, 4, 5,) are solutions to the inequality 19- 4x>3

Answer 1

2 and 3

Explanation:

Given the set (2, 3, 4, 5,) and inequality 19- 4x>3

To obtain which number gives a solution, we test each value in the set ;

19- 4x>3

For x = 2

19- 4(2)>3

19 - 8 > 3

11 > 3 (true)

x = 3

19- 4(3)>3

19 - 12 > 3

7 > 3 (true)

For x = 4

19- 4(4)>3

19 - 16 > 3

3 > 3 (false )

For x = 5

19- 4(5)>3

19 - 20> 3

-1 > 3 (false)
