Substituting 9 in for X creates the number sentence: 9 + 15 <22
to find out if this is true or false, we need to add 9 + 15, which equals 24
the number sentence now becomes 24 < 22
24 is greater than 22, which means the number sentence is false
a number to substitute for X that would make the number sentence true could be 6
6 + 15 < 22
adding 6 to 15 equals 21
21 < 22 is a correct number sentence
substituting 3 for y creates the number sentence 4(3) = 12
we need to simplify the sentence to 4 x 3 = 12
next, we multiply 4 x 3, which equals 12
the number sentence then becomes 12 = 12, which means the number sentence is true
substituting 4 for h creates the number sentence 20 < 5(4)
to simplify the sentence, 20 < 5 x 4
next, multiplying 5 x 4 equals 20
the number sentence now becomes 20 < 20
the number sentence is false since it said 20 is less than 20
a number to substitute for H that would make the number sentence true could be 5
20 < 5(5)
20 < 5 x 5
5 x 5 equals 25
20 < 25 is a true number sentence
