Is k = 7 a solution to the inequality below?

31 >
77
k

1 answer

To check if \( k = 7 \) is a solution to the inequality \( 31 > \frac{77}{k} \), we first substitute \( k = 7 \) into the inequality:

\[ 31 > \frac{77}{7} \]

Now, calculate \( \frac{77}{7} \):

\[ \frac{77}{7} = 11 \]

Now, the inequality becomes:

\[ 31 > 11 \]

This statement is true. Therefore, \( k = 7 \) is indeed a solution to the inequality.
