algebraWhich value is in the solution set of ?
A
B
C
D
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the correct answer. First solve the inequality to find the solution set.
- Add 3: , giving
- Divide by 2:
- Check choices: is the minimum value that satisfies
- Verify: ??n ?�� Strategic Tip: The boundary value (here, 5) satisfies but not inequalities.
Choice A is incorrect because does not satisfy (4 is less than 5). Choice C is incorrect because is below the solution range. Choice D is incorrect because is well below the minimum value of 5.
