Question

which of the following is a solution to the inequality below?
j < 5

j = 6

j = 9

j = 2

j = 11

Explanation:

Step1: Check \( j = 6 \)

We check if \( 6<5 \). Since \( 6>5 \), \( j = 6 \) is not a solution.

Step2: Check \( j = 9 \)

We check if \( 9<5 \). Since \( 9>5 \), \( j = 9 \) is not a solution.

Step3: Check \( j = 2 \)

We check if \( 2<5 \). Since \( 2<5 \) is true, \( j = 2 \) is a solution.

Step4: Check \( j = 11 \)

We check if \( 11<5 \). Since \( 11>5 \), \( j = 11 \) is not a solution.

Answer:

\( j = 2 \)
