Tell whether the given value is a solution of the inequality.<br><br> a/6 > -4; a = -18

balandron [24]

First we simplify the inequality

1. <em>multiply 6 by the other side of the inequality (-4) </em>

Now we have ...

a > -24

Anything that can be a solution to the inequality <u>must be greater than -24</u>

-18 is greater than -24

This means that, YES! a = -18 IS a solution to the inequality
