Question

From the set {37, 50, 63}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the inequality true.


`x - 13 > 37`



A. 50

B. 37

C. 63

D. none of these

Answer 1

37-13 is less than 37 50-13 is equal too 37 so c is the answer

Answer 2

50 - 37 = 37 (doesn’t make the inequality true, since it equals 37)

37 - 13 = 24 (doesn’t make the inequality true since it’s less than 37)

63 - 13 = 50 (this is correct because your answer is greater than 37)

Answer: C
