Example 5 Determine the Truth of an Inequality For the given value, state whether the inequality is true or false. x – 4 < 6; x = 0 Answer: Since –4 is less than 6, –4 < 6 is true. –4 < 6Simplify 0 – 4 < 6Replace x with 0. ? x – 4 < 6Write the inequality.

1.A 2.B Example 5 For the given value, state whether the inequality is true or false. x – 5 < 8; x = 16 A.true B.false

Example 6 Determine the Truth of an Inequality For the given value, state whether the inequality is true or false. 3x ≥ 4; x = 1 Answer: Since 3 is not greater than or equal to 4, the sentence is false. 3x≥ 4Write the inequality. 3(1)≥ 4Replace x with 1. ? 3≥ 4Simplify.

1.A 2.B Example 6 A.true B.false For the given value, state whether the inequality is true or false. 2x ≥ 9; x = 5
