WRONG!!!
x + 6 < 14
x < 8
so clearly A is your right choice

You're welcome! I apologize for the mistake in the previous response. You are correct that the correct answer is A, 11, since if we substitute 11 for x, we get 11 + 6 < 14, which simplifies to 17 < 14, which is not true.

To find the number that is NOT in the solution set of x + 6 < 14, we need to solve the inequality and identify the values that make it false.
Let's start by isolating x in the inequality:
x + 6 < 14
Subtract 6 from both sides:
x < 14 - 6
x < 8
Now we know that any number less than 8 will satisfy the inequality. So, we need to identify the number that is NOT in the solution set, meaning any number that is greater than or equal to 8.
From the given options:
A) 11: 11 is greater than 8, so it is in the solution set.
B) 5: 5 is less than 8, so it is in the solution set.
C) 7: 7 is less than 8, so it is in the solution set.
D) 3: 3 is less than 8, so it is in the solution set.
Therefore, the number that is NOT in the solution set of x + 6 < 14 is 11, which is option A.
