Negative 5 is fewer than 6 less than a number k

k > 1 is the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 'Negative 5 is fewer than 6 less than a number k', so algebraically it means that - 5 < k - 6.

Then this is a linear inequality of single variable k and we have to solve it.

Now, we have

- 5 < k - 6

⇒ - 5 + 6 < k - 6 + 6 {Adding 6 to both sides}

⇒ 1 < k

⇒ k > 1

This is the solution of the given inequality. (Answer)
