Question

5. Which two values are NOT solutions for x in the inequality 5x + 3 > 33?

a. 5
b. 6
c. 7
d. 8

Answer 1

5 and 6

Explanation:

Given the inequality 5x + 3 > 33?

Subtract 3 from both sides

5x + 3 - 3 > 33 - 3

5x > 30

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 > 30/5

x > 6

Hence the value of x must be greater than 6. The values that are not greater than 6 are 5 and 6. Hence 5 and 6 are not solution for x in the inequality
