Question

1. Find the possible values of r in the inequality 5 > r - 3.
OA.r = 8.
OB. r<2
OC.r=2
D. r<8

Answer 1

Answer:

D. r<8

Step-by-step explanation:

5 > r - 3

To find the possible solutions for the inequality, isolate r on one side of the inequality.

Add 3 to each side.

5+3 > r - 3+3

8 > r

Answer 2

The value of r is:

r < 8

Work/explanation:

Here's how the inequality is solved.

Recall that the process for solving an inequality is almost the same as for solving an equation.

First let's rearrange the inequality

$\sf{5 > r - 3}$

$\sf{r - 3 < 5}$

Now, add 3 to the right side and simplify :

$\sf{r < 8}$

Hence, D is correct.
