HELP!!!! Choose the correct answer. Which expression, when evaluated,
yields a true statement?


a. 18 - 2m < 7 + 3m when m = 2

b. 7x - x/3 > 19 when x = 3

c. 6x - 1 > 4x + 5 when x = 3

d. 2x^2 - 3x + 1 < x - x^2/4 when x = 2

Respuesta :

We will check each options and verify it

(a)

[tex]18-2m<7+3m[/tex]

we can plug m=2

[tex]18-2\times 2<7+3\times 2[/tex]

[tex]18-4<7+6[/tex]

[tex]14<13[/tex]

so, this is FALSE

(b)

[tex]7x-\frac{x}{3} >19[/tex]

we can plug x=3

[tex]7\times 3-\frac{3}{3} >19[/tex]

[tex]21-1 >19[/tex]

[tex]20 >19[/tex]

so, this is TRUE

(c)

[tex]6x-1>4x+5[/tex]

we can plug x=3

[tex]6\times 3-1>4\times 3+5[/tex]

[tex]18-1>12+5[/tex]

[tex]17>17[/tex]

so, this is FALSE

(d)

[tex]2x^2-3x+1<x-\frac{x^2}{4}[/tex]

now, we can plug x=2

[tex]2(2)^2-3(2)+1<2-\frac{(2)^2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]8-6+1<2-1[/tex]

[tex]3<1[/tex]

So, this is FALSE
