Which of the following sets shows all the numbers from the set {0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 3} that make the inequality 2a + 3 ≥ 8 true? (4 points) {2.5, 3} {1, 2.5, 3} {0, 0.5, 1} {0.5, 1}

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

i think it might be C

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

i mean B not C

pooja195 (pooja195):

Take the numbers from C and plug them seperatly in the place of a

pooja195 (pooja195):

2(0)+ 3 ≥ 8 True or false? 2(0.5) + 3 ≥ 8 True or false? 2(1) + 3 ≥ 8 True or false?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

A. false B. false C. true

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok so is C our answer?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

yea C is our answer

pooja195 (pooja195):

We want all to be true. None should be false so C is not our answer.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

wait...

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

im kinda confused

pooja195 (pooja195):

we want all values to be true when we plug them into the equation Let's try a 2(2.5) + 3 ≥ 8 True or false 2(3) + 3 ≥ 8 True or false

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

How are we gonna find the value though thats were im stuck at ;-;

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

@pooja195

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

@pooja195

pooja195 (pooja195):

We find the values by guessing and checking.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

So its D thats my guess from what i observed -

pooja195 (pooja195):

D is incorrect.

pooja195 (pooja195):

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @pooja195 we want all values to be true when we plug them into the equation Let's try A (going in order) 2(2.5) + 3 ≥ 8 True or false 2(3) + 3 ≥ 8 True or false \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) answer this

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

hmmm I chose C its incorrect and B is incorrect as well so A has to be the answer

pooja195 (pooja195):

Can you answer wether the given statements are true or false? :)

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

1. False 2. true

pooja195 (pooja195):

2(2.5) + 3 ≥ 8 True or false Try again :P 2*2.5=?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

5

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

OH ok so () means * oh ok so true

pooja195 (pooja195):

yep so we know that our answer is....?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):
