An inequality using any of the inequality symbols has an infinite number of solutions. An inequality using all but one of the inequality symbols also has an infinite number of nonsolutions. Which inequality symbol produces an inequality with a finite number of nonsolutions?

The inequality symbol that produces an inequality with a finite number of nonsolutions is the strictly less than symbol "<".
so the answer is "<"?
Yes, the answer is "<". This symbol produces an inequality with a finite number of nonsolutions.

If the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a workplace is greater than 1,000 parts per million (ppm), it can cause drowsiness and complaints of stale air. Write an inequality to show the amount of (c) in parts per million that would cause drowsiness and complaints of stale air. Begin the inequality with c
.

The inequality to show the amount of CO2 in parts per million that would cause drowsiness and complaints of stale air is:

c > 1000

This inequality states that the amount of carbon dioxide in parts per million (c) must be greater than 1,000 ppm to cause drowsiness and complaints of stale air.
thank you! what about this?

The solution to the inequality h + 8 ≤ 9 + 12 is:

h + 8 ≤ 9 + 12
h + 8 ≤ 21

So, the answer is:

h ≤ 13
Which symbol in place of the question mark makes the inequality 2x
? 20 true for the solutions 10, 11, and 12?

symbol in the Comparison (<)

To check the inequality 2x ? 20 for the solutions 10, 11, and 12, we can substitute each value of x individually and see which symbol makes the inequality true:

1. For x = 10:
2(10) = 20
20 = 20 (true)
Therefore, the symbol should be ≤ (less than or equal to), because 20 is equal to 20.

2. For x = 11:
2(11) = 22
22 > 20 (true)
Therefore, the symbol should be > (greater than), because 22 is greater than 20.

3. For x = 12:
2(12) = 24
24 > 20 (true)
Therefore, the symbol should be > (greater than), because 24 is greater than 20.

The symbol that should replace the question mark to make the inequality 2x ? 20 true for the solutions 10, 11, and 12 is > (greater than).
