Solve the inequality below.
-x + 5 < 7
Which of the following values of x DO NOT make the inequality true?
A. -1
B.- 3
C. 7
D. 5

Answer 1

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x in the inequality, to get x > -2 (see the image below if you want to know how to solve it). Then, we can substitute the numbers for x to see which ones DO NOT make the inequality true:

-1 > -2  This is true, because -1 is greater than -2

-3 > -2  This is false, because -3 is not greater than -2

7 > -2  This is true, because 7 is greater than -2

5 > -2  This is true, because 5 is greater than -2

So you can see that -3 is the number that DOES NOT make the inequality true. So therefore:

Answer: -3
