Question

for each value of x, determine whether it is a solution to $x - 36 > 11$.
(a) is $x = 49$ a solution?
$circ$yes $circ$no
(b) is $x = 42$ a solution?
$circ$yes $circ$no
(c) is $x = 51$ a solution?
$circ$yes $circ$no
(d) is $x = 47$ a solution?
$circ$yes $circ$no

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x=49 into inequality

$49 - 36 = 13$, $13 > 11$

Step2: Substitute x=42 into inequality

$42 - 36 = 6$, $6
gtr 11$

Step3: Substitute x=51 into inequality

$51 - 36 = 15$, $15 > 11$

Step4: Substitute x=47 into inequality

$47 - 36 = 11$, $11
gtr 11$

Answer:

(a) Yes
(b) No
(c) Yes
(d) No
