Question
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Is 2 a solution of \(x+3<8 ?\)
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Yes, 2 is a solution of \(x+3<8.\)
1Step 1: Substitution
Substitute 2 for 'x' in the inequality \(x + 3 < 8\), it becomes \(2 + 3 < 8\).
2Step 2: Evaluate the expression
After adding the numbers, it becomes \(5 < 8\).
3Step 3: Determine if the inequality holds
Clearly, 5 is less than 8, so the inequality holds true.
