Answer:
x<7
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the number x (as mentioned in the question). Now carefully pay attention to the given condition
⇒"The sum of a number and 3 is less than 10"
Remember the notation of the term "less than" in mathematical context is indicated by "<" sign. Hence our inequality is
⇒ x+3<10
adding or subtracting any number from the both sides of an inequality DOESN'T change its direction. Thus, if we cancel out 3 from both sides it won't swap the inequality. Therefore
⇒ x+3-3<10-3
⇒ [tex]x<7[/tex]
In terms of interval notation
[tex]\implies x\in( -\infty,7)[/tex]
In conclusion
The answer is D) [tex]x < 7[/tex]
Let the number be x
The sum of number and 3
Is less than 10
Lets solve it
Hence
Option D is correct
