Question

Directions: State whether the number is a solution to the given inequality.

1. x> -6; 4

2. n <8; 11

Answer 1

1. x > -6.

Replace variable with 4.

4 > -6

Yes, the value of 4 does satisfy the inequality and allow it to stay true, as 4 is greater than -6.

2. n < 8

Replace variable with 11.

11 < 8

No, the value of 11 does not satisfy the inequality, as it is now false. 11 is not less than 8.
