Question

Which number(s) below belong to the solution set of the inequality? Check all that apply x + 30 < 60 a.300 b.1 c.29 d.30 e.50 f.45

Answer 1

B and C

Explanation:

We can solve for x in the inequality just like you do when solving algebra equations of an = sign.

x + 30 < 60

x + 30 - 30 < 60 -30

x < 30

"<" means the number on the left is smaller than the number on the right. Both numbers must not be equal to each other.

Since x is smaller than 30, and is not 30,

the only option that is correct is B, 1 and C, 29.

Answer 2

b and c

Explanation:

x+30<60 -->x < 60 -30 = 30 --> x < 30
