Question

If x < 5 and x >c, give a value of c such that there

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound inequality is c < x < 5

If we want a value of c such that there are no solutions, we need to make that inequality false.

From the inequality we can see that 5 must be greater than c to be true.

Therefore, we need to choose a value smaller or equal than 5.

For example, c=6.

If c = 6, that means that x is greater than 6 and smaller than 5. That's impossible, there is no number that meets that.

Therefore, our compound inequality 6 < x < 5 has no solutions.
