Verified Answer :

Here are the answers of the given items above:
1.) 10.6 < b
The correct answer would be option D. 14. Among the given numbers, only 14 is greater than 10.6.
2. m>7/12
The correct answer would be option A. 1. 
3. 8 < x(7 - x)
The correct answer would be option A. 2
Here is the solution:
8 < 2(7 - 2)
8 < 2(5)
8 < 10
Hope this helps!

we know that

A number is an inequality solution if the number satisfies the inequality

Part 1) \(10.6 < b\)

rewrite the inequality

\(b > 10.6\)

The answer Part 1) is the option D \(14\)

Because  \(14\) satisfies the inequality

\(14 > 10.6\) -----> is true

Part 2) \(m > 7/12\)

The answer Part 2) is the option A \(1\)

Because  \(1\) satisfies the inequality

\(1 > 7/12\) -----> is true

Part 3) \(8< x(7-x)\)

we're going to verify every case

case A) For \(x=2\)

substitute the value of x in the inequality

\(8< 2(7-2)\)

\(8< 10\) ------> is true

therefore

The number \(2\) is a solution

case B) For \(x=8\)

substitute the value of x in the inequality

\(8< 8(7-8)\)

\(8< -8\) ------> is not true

therefore

The number \(8\) is not a solution

case C) For \(x=-1\)

substitute the value of x in the inequality

\(8< -1(7-(-1))\)

\(8< -8\) ------> is not true

therefore

The number \(-1\) is not a solution

case D) For \(x=0\)

substitute the value of x in the inequality

\(8< 0(7-0)\)

\(8< 0\) ------> is not true

therefore

The number \(0\) is not a solution

therefore

The answer Part 3) is the option A \(2\)
