Q. True or False. Determine whether the statement is correct.
Understand the statement: Understand the statement.The statement to evaluate is whether "X≥9" is equivalent to "x≤9".
Compare the inequalities: Compare the inequalities.The original inequality is "X≥9", which can be written in mathematical terms as "x≥9".The inequality given for comparison is "x≤9".
Determine equivalence: Determine if the inequalities are equivalent.The inequality "x≥9" means that x is 9 or any number greater than 9.The inequality "x≤9" means that x is 9 or any number less than 9.These two inequalities are not equivalent because they represent opposite conditions.
Conclude truth value: Conclude the truth value of the statement.Since x≥9 is not the same as x≤9, the statement X is greater than or equal to 9 can be represented as x≤9 is false.
