Question

Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...e

Answer 1

x = 1 makes the inequality true

x = 4 makes the inequality true

x = -4 makes the inequality false

Explanation:

We can determine whether x = 1, x = 4, and x = -4 makes the inequality by plugging in 1, 4, and -4 for x and seeing whether the inequality still holds true:

Step 1: Plugging in 1 for x:

8 ≥ 5 - 1

8 ≥ 4

Because 8 is greater than 4, x = 1 makes the inequality true.

Step 2: Plugging in 4 for x:

8 ≥ 5 - 4

8 ≥ 1

Because 8 is also greater than 4, x = 4 also makes the inequality true.

Step 3: Plugging in -4 for x:

8 ≥ 5 - (-4)

8 ≥ 5 + 4

8 ≥ 9

Because 8 is not less than 9, x = -4 makes the inequality false

Answer 2

True, True, False

Explanation:

1. 8 ≥ 5-1 Is correct

2. 8 ≥ 5-4 is correct

3. 8 ≥ 5-(-4) is not correct
