Question

Is either x=5 or x=3 a solution to 11- x <7

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start off to see if x=3 could work (put the x value in)

11-3<7

(11-3=8)

8<7   This is false

Now lets try the other one-

11-5<7

(11-5=6)

6<7

The value x=5 is the correct answer

P.S If you don't mind, could I have brainlest? (if you think my answer is the best)

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

11 - x < 7

• 11 minus a number is less than 7

Insert 5 into the equation

11 - 5 < 7

Simplify

6 < 7

• This is true

Insert 3 into the equation

11 - 3 < 7

Simplify

8 < 7

• This is false

x = 5 is a solution to the equation 11 - x < 7
