Question
Fill in the blank in the expression with the proper number.
(6 – ______) < (2 + 3)
Advertisements
Solution
(6 − 2) < (2 + 3)
Explanation:
2 + 3 = 5
Now the inequality becomes: (6 − ____) < 5
Simplify the left-hand side: 6 − ____ < 5
Subtract 6 from both sides: − ____ < − 1
Multiply through by −1, reversing the inequality: ____ > 1
The blank must be any number greater than 1. For example, 2 is a valid solution.
Thus, one possible completed expression is: (6 − 2) < (2 + 3)
