Question

Is x=6 a solution to the inequality 3x-1<20

Answer 1

Hey there! We are given the following inequality and want to see if x=6 is a solution:

`3x-1<20`

To see if x=6 is a solution, let's plug in the value of x=6 into the inequality and see if the inequality is true.

`3(6)-1<20`

`18-1<20`

`17<20`

17 is indeed less than 20; thus, the inequality is true.

Since the inequality is true after using the value x=6, x=6 is a solution to the inequality.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
