Exercise 23 Page 388

Substitute 17 into the given inequality and then simplify.

No

Practice makes perfect
We can determine whether 17 is a solution by substituting it into the inequality and simplifying.
y+5 < 13
17+5 ? < 17
22<17 *
Since 22 is not less than 17, we got a false statement. This means that y=17 is not a solution of the inequality.
