Answer:

No, x can't be 0

Explanation:

because 4 + 0 + 2 equals to 6 and 8 is greater than 6 but the sign is facing towards the problem telling that the 6 is greater than the 8.

Answer:

No, x can't equal zero.

Explanation:

substitute x for zero. now the equation says 4+0+2>8

4+2 is 6 so 6 < 8. 6 is less than 8 not greater, therefore x can't be zero
