Question

Find a number that is not a solution to 3x-1>8 or 7-x>3

Answer 1

Answer:

All of the numbers are solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Solve for x in the first equation

$3x - 1 + 1 > 8 + 1$

$3x / 3 > 9 / 3$

$x > 3$

Step 2:  Solve for x in the second equation

$7 - x - 7 > 3 - 7$

$-x / -1 > -4 / -1$

Since you divided by a negative, you must flip the sign.

$x < 4$

Step 3:  Find the number

x > 3 and x < 4

Answer: All of the numbers are solutions.
