We want to know whether the numbers 8, -4, -5 and 2 are solutions of the inequality:
[tex]-34>8x-2[/tex]
We will solve the inequality, and then we will find if each one of the values are solutions. For doing so, we will clear out the variable x.
[tex]\begin{gathered} -34+2>8x \\ -32>8x \\ -\frac{32}{8}>x \\ -4>x \end{gathered}[/tex]
This means that all the values less than -4 are solutions of the inequality.
Thus: 8, -4 and 2 are NOT solutions, but -5 is a solution.
