Question

Which of the following values of x makes the inequality true?

x + 35 < 83

A. 53
B. 48
C. 51
D. 49

Answer 1

53 + 35 = 88
48 + 35 = 83
51 + 35 = 86
49 + 35 = 84
All these values are all greater or equal to 83. I'm pretty sure that all of these answers are incorrect... Unless you were supposed to make the < sign into a ≤...

Answer 2

Hey there, subtract 35 from both sides would give you x<48, Therefore, the answer is B. 48
