Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Pre-Solving

We are given the following inequality:


76 < 5-(136)/(s)

And we want to know if s=2 is a solution, meaning if s is 2, will the inequality still be true?

Solving

We can substitute 2 for s in the inequality to test it.

Replace s with 2.


76 < 5-(136)/(2)

First, let's divide 136 by 2.

136/2 = 68

The inequality is now:

76 < 5 - 68

Subtract 68 from 5.

76 < -63

The inequality reads "76 is less than -63", which is a false statement (76 is positive, -63 is negative, and positive numbers are greater than negative numbers).

Ergo, s = 2 is not a solution to the inequality.
