Question

Check to see whether 5 is a solution: 10 + 7g < 44

Answer 1

it is not a solution

Explanation:

By replacing the letter g with a 5 the answer would be 45<44 which is not true

Answer 2

Not a solution

Explanation:

We want to check and see if 5 is a solution to the inequality. Therefore, we must substitute 5 into the inequality.

`10+7g < 44`

Plug 5 in for g.

`g=5`

`10+7(5) < 44\\`

First, multiply 5 and 7.

`10 + (7*5) < 44`

`10 + 35 < 44`

Next, add 10 and 35.

`(10+35) < 44`

`45 < 44`

This statement is not true. 45 is not less than 44. Therefore, 5 is not a solution.
