Question

8x-1<2x+5

If x is a number greater than zero that satisfies the inequality above, what is one possible value of x?

Answer 1

0 < x < 1

any fraction bigger than zero and less than 1.

Explanation:

8x - 1 < 2x + 5

Subtract 2x

6x - 1 < 5

Add 1.

6x < 6

Divide by 6.

x < 1

They are asking for a number bigger than zero. But 1 does not work because the answer has to be less than one. Pick any fraction between zero and one.

Answer 2

Explanation:

There is no number greater than zero that satisfy the above inequality

but if the sign is less than or equal to 1 will work
