Hey there! We are given the following inequality and want to see if x=6 is a solution:
[tex]3x-1<20[/tex]
To see if x=6 is a solution, let's plug in the value of x=6 into the inequality and see if the inequality is true.
[tex]3(6)-1<20[/tex]
[tex]18-1<20[/tex]
[tex]17<20[/tex]
17 is indeed less than 20; thus, the inequality is true.
Since the inequality is true after using the value x=6, x=6 is a solution to the inequality.
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
