Question

Which values satisfy the inequality? |x| < 3 Choose all answers that are correct. A. x = –6 B. x = –5 C. x = –1 D. x = 2

Answer 1

Lets plug in the answer choices and see which one works

A. x = -6

| -6 | < 3
6 < 3

False, so A is not the answer

B. x = -5

| -5 | < 3
5 < 3

False, so B isn't the answer

C. x = -1

| -1 | < 3
1 < 3

True, so C is the answer.

But lets just check D to make sure C is the answer.

D. x = 2

| 2 | < 3
2 < 3

False, so D isn't the answer either.


C is your answer :)
