Question

Pay attention to the sign! Select All that apply. J - 5 < 72 A. J= 77 B. J = 78 C. J = 77 1/2 D. J = 76 1/2 E. J = 76

Answer 1

Given the inequality :

$J-5<72$

Add 5 to both sides :

$\begin{gathered} J-5+5<72+5 \\ \\ J<77 \end{gathered}$

So, we need to select the numbers that less than 77

so,

The answer will be the options :

D. 76 1/2 , because 76 1/2 < 77

E. 76 , because 76 < 77
