Which of the following is a solution to the inequality below? 7 < n Choices: (A)n = 7 (B)n = 2 (C)n = 8 (D)n = 5

Understand the inequality: Understand the inequality 7 < n. This inequality means that n must be greater than 7.Evaluate the choices: Evaluate the choices to see which one is greater than 7. (A) n = 7 is not greater than 7, it is equal to 7.Check choice (A): Check the next choice. (B) n = 2 is not greater than 7, it is less than 7.Check choice (B): Check the next choice. (C) n = 8 is greater than 7.Check choice (C): Since n = 8 is greater than 7, we do not need to check the last choice (D) n = 5, as it is less than 7. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) n = 8.

Q. Which of the following is a solution to the inequality below?

\newline

7 < n

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)

n = 7

\newline

(B)

n = 2

\newline

(C)

n = 8

\newline

(D)

n = 5

Understand the inequality: Understand the inequality 7 < n. This inequality means that $n$ must be greater than $7$ .
Evaluate the choices: Evaluate the choices to see which one is greater than $7$ . $\newline$ (A) $n = 7$ is not greater than $7$ , it is equal to $7$ .
Check choice (A): Check the next choice. $\newline$ (B) $n = 2$ is not greater than $7$ , it is less than $7$ .
Check choice (B): Check the next choice. $\newline$ (C) $n = 8$ is greater than $7$ .
Check choice (C): Since $n = 8$ is greater than $7$ , we do not need to check the last choice (D) $n = 5$ , as it is less than $7$ . Therefore, the correct answer is (C) $n = 8$ .
