Question

A class is playing a game called “Guess my Number,” in which the number is an integer. The teacher gives these clues for the unknown number. 4 + h ≤ 7 and h + 1 > 3 What is the value of the unknown number, h?

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 3

if you subtract for 4 from 7 in the first expression, then h is less than or equal to 3.

If you subtract 1 from 3 in the second expression then h is greater than 2.

thus the only value of h possible is 3.

Answer 2

3

If you subtract for 4 from 7 in the first expression, then h is less than or equal to 3.

If you subtract 1 from 3 in the second expression then h is greater than 2.

Thus the only value of h possible is 3.
