From the set {24, 36, 72}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the inequality true.

x ÷ 12 < 3

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality : x ÷ 12 < 3

Substitute the values in the set for X and test the inequality expression if it hoods true for each of the substituted value.

x = 24

24 ÷ 12 < 3

2 < 3 (true)

x = 36

36 ÷ 12 < 3

3 < 3 (false)

x = 72

72 ÷ 12 < 3

6 < 3 (false)
