To determine whether each value of \( x \) is a solution to the inequality \( -5 + 6x \leq 37 \), we can solve the inequality for \( x \) first.
-
Start with the inequality: \[ -5 + 6x \leq 37 \]
-
Add 5 to both sides: \[ 6x \leq 37 + 5 \] \[ 6x \leq 42 \]
-
Divide both sides by 6: \[ x \leq 7 \]
Now we can check each value of \( x \):
-
For \( x = 0 \): \[ 6(0) = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -5 + 0 = -5 \leq 37 \] Yes, it is a solution.
-
For \( x = 10 \): \[ 6(10) = 60 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -5 + 60 = 55 \not\leq 37 \] No, it is not a solution.
-
For \( x = -3 \): \[ 6(-3) = -18 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -5 - 18 = -23 \leq 37 \] Yes, it is a solution.
-
For \( x = 7 \): \[ 6(7) = 42 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -5 + 42 = 37 \leq 37 \] Yes, it is a solution.
So, summarizing the results:
- \( x = 0 \): Yes
- \( x = 10 \): No
- \( x = -3 \): Yes
- \( x = 7 \): Yes
