I need help with this one, please.
Which of the following is in the solution set of the inequality –3 > –3t + 6?
A. -1/3
B. 1/3
C. 4
D. -4
I did a Pre-Test for my lesson, and it says I got this one wrong. However, it doesn't say which one I picked.
For this one, is C the answer?
I am going over the Pre-Test problems that I got wrong, so I can do better on the Quiz.
Please help me by checking my answer. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Also, I do need to figure the answer out as soon as possible!!! :)
–3 > –3t + 6
3t > 6+3
3t > 9
t > 3
So for the given numbers, I see that only 4 > 3
so , yes, C is the correct answer.
Thank you Reiny! :D
To find the solution set for the inequality –3 > –3t + 6, we need to solve for t.
1. Start by subtracting 6 from both sides of the inequality:
–3 - 6 > –3t
Simplifying further:
–9 > –3t
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by –3, remembering that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign:
–9 / –3 < t
Resulting in:
3 < t
So, t is greater than 3.
Now let's check the answer choices:
A. -1/3: -1/3 is less than 3, so it is NOT in the solution set.
B. 1/3: 1/3 is less than 3, so it is NOT in the solution set.
C. 4: 4 is greater than 3, so it is in the solution set.
D. -4: -4 is less than 3, so it is NOT in the solution set.
Therefore, the correct answer is C, 4. It is the only choice that satisfies the original inequality.
