Question

indicate whether the value of x is a solution or is not a solution of the inequality 33x + 55 > 17. select the answer from the drop - down list to correctly complete the sentence. show hints x = - 2 is a solution not a solution

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \( x = -2 \) into the inequality

Substitute \( x = -2 \) into \( 33x + 55 > 17 \). We get \( 33(-2)+55 \). Calculate \( 33\times(-2)= -66 \), then \( -66 + 55=-11 \).

Step2: Check the inequality

Now we check if \( -11>17 \). Since \( -11 \) is less than \( 17 \), the inequality does not hold when \( x = -2 \).

Answer:

not a solution
