Question

Mai and Priya were solving inequalities.

Mai said, "When you are solving an inequality and the last line is 2 ≥ 5, then the inequality has no solutions because 2 is never greater than or equal to 5."
Priya said, "I know an inequality has no solutions if the last line is x ≤ 4 because x cannot be equal to 4 and less than 4."
Only one of the students is correct, who is it?

Then, who is incorrect? Fix the incorrect statement.

Answer 1

mai is correct. priya is incorrect. this is because the “x” could possibly be equal to or less than four. So, priyas problem would actually have a solution.
