Which of the numbers 11, 12, and 13 is a solution of 24−x<12 ?

1 answer

To determine which of the numbers 11, 12, and 13 is a solution of $24-x<12$, we can substitute each of the numbers into the inequality and see if it is satisfied.

Substituting 11 for $x$, we get $24-11<12$, which simplifies to $13<12$. This is not a true statement.

Substituting 12 for $x$, we get $24-12<12$, which simplifies to $12<12$. This is also not a true statement.

Substituting 13 for $x$, we get $24-13<12$, which simplifies to $11<12$. This is a true statement.

Therefore, the number 13 is the only solution of $24-x<12$. Answer: $\boxed{13}$.
