Question

Give two or more solutions to x< 29. Show why each value is a solution.

Answer 1

x = 10

x = -10

Explanation:

x = 10

We can start by comparing the tens digit, as each number has two digits.

29 vs 10

2 vs 1

2 is greater than 1; therefore, as the biggest digit is larger and each number has the same amount of digits, 29 > 10 and x= 10 < 29

x = -10

29 is positive, and -10 is negative. Any negative number is smaller than any positive number, so x = -10 < 29
