Let's Check Our Answer!
We can check our solution by substituting a few values into the given inequality. The value satisfies the inequality if the inequality remains true after substituting and simplifying.
h
h - 16 ≤ - 24

True or False?
- 7
- 7 - 16 ≤ - 24
- 23 ≰ - 24
False
- 8
- 8 - 16 ≤ - 24
- 24 ≤ - 24
True
- 9
- 9 - 16 ≤ - 24
- 25 ≤ - 24
True
We can conclude that as long as h is less than or equal to - 8, the inequality is satisfied.
