Exercise 23 Page 149

Substitute 14 into the given inequality and then simplify.

No.

Practice makes perfect
We can determine whether 14 is a solution by substituting it into the inequality and simplifying.
7/8 - 3k < - 1/2
7/8 - 3 * 1/4 ? < - 1/2
7/8 - 3/4 ? < - 1/2
7/8 - 6/8 ? < - 1/2
1/8 < - 1/2 *
Since 18 is not less than a negative number, 14 is not a solution.
