Math Problem Statement
Which of the following values are solutions to the inequality 4, is less than or equal to, minus, 7, plus, x, question mark4≤−7+x?
I., 5, II., 11, III., 4
I.5II.11III.4
Solution
Let's determine whether each of the given values satisfies the inequality .
Recall the inequality:
This simplifies to:
Now, let's check each value:
I.
Substitute into the inequality: This is false, so is not a solution.
II.
Substitute into the inequality: This is true, so is a solution.
III.
Substitute into the inequality: This is false, so is not a solution.
Conclusion:
The only value that satisfies the inequality is II. .
