Question

Which choice is the solution to the inequality below?

Answer 1

hello!

In order to solve this inequality, we should divide both sides by 9:-

$\sf{9x < 72}$

Why 9? Because x is multiplied by 9, and we need to isolate x in order to find its value.

$\sf{x < 8}$

Hence, that's the solution to the inequality.

It also means that the numbers less than 8 will satisfy the given inequality (make the inequality true)

(Option C is correct :) )

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any explanation/clarification, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)

Answer 2

x < 8

solving steps:

• 9x <  72

• x < 72/9

• x < 8
