When 6 is added to a number, the result is less than 20. What is the solution of the corresponding inequality for the number \(x\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x<14\)

The statement translates to the inequality \(x+6<20\). Subtracting 6 from both sides gives \(x<14\), so option A is correct. Option C is incorrect because when \(x=14\), the result is exactly 20, not less than 20. Exam tip: ‘less than’ indicates the strict inequality \(<\), whereas ‘less than or equal to’ indicates \(\leq\).
