Which number is a solution of the inequality?
1. a<2.9
a. -5
b. 3
c. -3
d. 2.9
2. 6<h
a. -6
b. 10
c. 5.9
d. 0
Please help!
Are you sure you've typed these accurately?
1. Both a and c are correct. Both are smaller than 2.9
2, b is correct.
I don't know all of it.
I do have a guess though;
I think 1 is a and 2 is b.
Thank you
You are welcome.
To determine which number is a solution to the inequality, we need to compare the values in the answer choices to the given inequality and see which values satisfy the inequality.
For the first inequality, "a < 2.9", we can compare each answer choice to see if it satisfies the inequality:
a) -5 < 2.9 --> This is true since -5 is less than 2.9.
b) 3 < 2.9 --> This is false since 3 is not less than 2.9.
c) -3 < 2.9 --> This is true since -3 is less than 2.9.
d) 2.9 < 2.9 --> This is false since 2.9 is not less than 2.9.
Therefore, the numbers -5 and -3 are solutions to the inequality "a < 2.9". Thus, the correct answer is a) and c).
For the second inequality, "6 < h", we can compare each answer choice to see if it satisfies the inequality:
a) -6 < 6 --> This is true since -6 is less than 6.
b) 10 < 6 --> This is false since 10 is not less than 6.
c) 5.9 < 6 --> This is true since 5.9 is less than 6.
d) 0 < 6 --> This is true since 0 is less than 6.
Therefore, the numbers -6, 5.9, and 0 are solutions to the inequality "6 < h". Thus, the correct answers are a), c), and d).
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
