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

Question

6 > 2x + 10

5
2
–3
1

Answer 1

To find the appropriate value of x that makes the inequality true, we need to solve the inequality for x.

Starting with 6 > 2x + 10, we can subtract 10 from both sides:

6 - 10 > 2x + 10 - 10
-4 > 2x

Next, divide both sides by 2:

-4/2 > 2x/2
-2 > x

Thus, any value of x that is less than -2 will make the inequality true. Out of the given options, the appropriate value of x is -3 because -3 is less than -2.
