Question

Which of the following is a solution of x + -3.4>17/68?

A. 3.4.
B. 0
C. 21/68.
D. 4.25​

Answer 1

Answer: D) 4.25

====================================

Work Shown:

x - 3.4 > 17/68

x - 3.4 > 0.25

x - 3.4 + 3.4 > 0.25 + 3.4 .... add 3.4 to both sides

x > 3.65

Any number larger than 3.65 will work in place of x

Choice A does not work since 3.4 is not larger than 3.65

Choice B and choice C is the same story as well since 21/68 = 0.3088 approximately

Only choice D is larger than 3.65
