Choose an appropriate value of x that makes each inequality true.

Question

13 > 5x – 7

Answer 1

To find an appropriate value of x that makes the inequality true, we need to isolate the variable x.

Starting with 13 > 5x - 7, we can first add 7 to both sides of the inequality to get rid of the -7.

13 + 7 > 5x - 7 + 7

20 > 5x

Now, to isolate x, we can divide both sides by 5.

20/5 > 5x/5

4 > x

Therefore, any value of x that is less than 4 will make the inequality true. For example, x = 3, x = 2, x = 1, etc.
