Question

Which value of the vanable is a solution of the inequality? t<-6 7 6 -6 -7

Answer 1

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 is a solution of the inequality t<-6

By the way, for the number -6, you can think about a temperature below zero. When it is freezing 6 degrees below zero (-6) it is pretty cold.

The question is which number(s) can you substitute for t so that the formula (the inequality) is True.

So let's try for each given value and substitute it for t in t<-6

if you substitute 7 for t you get this:

Is 7 smaller then -6 ?

No that is not true because 7 is bigger then -6.

if you substitute 7 for t you get this:

Is 7 smaller then -6 ?

No that is not true because 7 is much bigger then -6.

if you substitute 6 for t you get this:

Is 6 smaller then -6 ?

No that is not true because 6 is much bigger then -6.

if you substitute -6 for t you get this:

Is -6 smaller then -6 ?

No, that is NOT true because -6 is exactly the same as -6 but NOT smaller then -6...

if you substitute-7 for t you get this:

Please think about temperatures below zero again.

Is -7 colder the -6 ? If so, then the statement is true...

Is -7 smaller then -6 ?

Yes that is true!

So -7 is a solution of the inequality t<-6
