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. x = - 1 is a solution not a solution

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \( x = -1 \) into the inequality

Substitute \( x = -1 \) into \( 33x + 55 \). We get \( 33(-1)+55 \). Calculate this: \( -33 + 55 = 22 \).

Step2: Check the inequality

The inequality is \( 33x + 55>17 \). We found that when \( x = -1 \), \( 33x + 55 = 22 \). Now check if \( 22>17 \), which is true. So \( x = -1 \) is a solution.

Answer:

a solution
