Know the Answer?

Graves · Answer 1

No, if it was the inequality would be x ≤ 3 not x < 3

Finn · Answer 2

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace x with 3 in the inequality and see if it makes a true or false statement.

x < 3

3 < 3

3 in not less than 3. 3 is equal to 3, so the statement 3 < 3 is false, so 3 is not a solution.
