Exercise 14 Page 386

Substitute 16 into the given inequality and then simplify.

No, see solution.

Practice makes perfect
We can determine whether 16 is a solution by substituting it into the inequality and simplifying.
w-12 < 4
16-12 ? < 4
4<4 *
Since 4 is not less than 4, we got a false statement. This means that w=16 is not a solution of the inequality.
