Question

Which number is NOT in the solution set of x − 6 > 10? A) 14 B) 17 C) 20 D) 23

Answer 1

I would say it is A!!! :)

Answer 2

`\boxed{\large \text{A) 14}}`

Explanation:

1. Solve the inequality

`\begin{array}{rcll}x - 6 & > & 10 & \\x & > & 16 & \text{Added 6 to each side}\\\end{array}`

2. Write the solution set

`\text{The solution set is } \boxed{\large \mathbf{(16, \infty)}}`

On a number line, the solution set includes all numbers to the right of 16.

I plotted all your points on a number line.

14 is not a member of the solution set.
