Question

which of the numbers 0, 1, 2 is solution of 5x + 2 ≥ 12

Answer 1

5x + 2 ≥ 12
5x ≥ 10
x ≥ 2
The only choice that works is x=2

Answer 2

The solution involves substituting each number into the inequality and checking if it is true or false.

1. Substitute x = 0:
5(0) + 2 ≥ 12
0 + 2 ≥ 12
2 ≥ 12
This is false, so 0 is not a solution.

2. Substitute x = 1:
5(1) + 2 ≥ 12
5 + 2 ≥ 12
7 ≥ 12
This is false, so 1 is not a solution.

3. Substitute x = 2:
5(2) + 2 ≥ 12
10 + 2 ≥ 12
12 ≥ 12
This is true, so 2 is a solution.

Therefore, the only number that is a solution of the inequality is 2.

Answer 3

Yes, you are correct. I apologize for the error in my previous response. The correct solution to the inequality is x ≥ 2, and the only number that satisfies this condition is x = 2. Thank you for pointing that out!
