Select all the values that can be substituted for x to make the inequality true.
x + 2.4<8.6
A. 8.5
B. 0
C. 9.1
D. 5.7
E. 2.4
which one is correct?
I don't really know.
well, x < 6.2, so ...
To determine which values can be substituted for x to make the inequality true, we need to solve the inequality x + 2.4 < 8.6.
To do this, we'll isolate x by subtracting 2.4 from both sides of the inequality:
x + 2.4 - 2.4 < 8.6 - 2.4
Simplifying both sides:
x < 6.2
Now we can determine which values satisfy this inequality. We'll go through each option one by one and see if it satisfies the inequality:
A. 8.5: This value does not satisfy the inequality, as 8.5 is greater than 6.2.
B. 0: This value does satisfy the inequality, as 0 is less than 6.2.
C. 9.1: This value does not satisfy the inequality, as 9.1 is greater than 6.2.
D. 5.7: This value does satisfy the inequality, as 5.7 is less than 6.2.
E. 2.4: This value does not satisfy the inequality, as 2.4 is equal to 6.2.
Thus, the values that can be substituted for x to make the inequality true are B. 0 and D. 5.7.
