Question

Which of the following is an inequality sentence?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

C.x<5 is an inequality sentence.

Answer 2

Answer:

$C. x$

Step-by-step explanation:

• Option A $[x+5=20]$tells us that: When we add 5 to a variable x, we get 20. As it has a unique value for x and is completely equal to it(i.e. 15), It is an equality.

• Option B$[x=5]$ tells us that: A variable x equals to 5. Hence, as x is unique for 5 and is wholly equal to it, it's an equality too.
• Option C$[x$ tells us that: A variable x isn't 5 but lesser than it. As we cannot equate it to 5, nor we are given the nature of the variable x, it is an Inequality.
• Option D$[x+5]$ is an expression; It can't be called an equation or an inequality unless we relate it with another expression.
