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

Question

5x – 13 > 2
1
-1
5
2

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x - 13 > 2, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality.

Adding 13 to both sides of the inequality gives:

5x - 13 + 13 > 2 + 13
5x > 15

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 5 gives:

(5x)/5 > 15/5
x > 3

So, any value of x that is greater than 3 will make the inequality true.

Therefore, the appropriate value of x that makes the inequality true is 5.
