Question

Which choice is the solution to the inequality below? 9x < 72 A. X < 63 B. x < 8 C. *>8 O D. XS2

Answer 1

We are given the following inequality

$9x\leq72$

Let's quickly remember that dividing by a number larger than 1 does not affect the inequality, so we have

$x\leq\frac{72}{9}$

And so

$x\leq8$
