Exercise 24 Page 58

Substitute 8 into the given inequality and then simplify.

No

Practice makes perfect
We can determine whether 8 is a solution by substituting it into the inequality and simplifying using the order of operations.
3m/6-2>3
\dfrac{3\cdot{\color{#0000FF}{8}}}{6}-2\stackrel{?}>3
\dfrac{24}{6}-2\stackrel{?}>3
4-2\stackrel{?}>3
2≯3
Since 2 is not greater than 3, 8 is not a solution to the given inequality.
