Question

In the inequality 4x≠12, which of the following values could not be equal to x?A. -5B. 0C. 3D. 4E. 8

Answer 1

We are given the following inequality

$4x\ne12$

Let's first consider and solve the equation

$4x=12$$x=\frac{12}{4}$$x=3$

This means, for our inequality, x cannot be equal to 3, for if it were equal to 3 the inequality would be false.

Option C. is the correct answer.
