Verified Answer :

if y>0 then y has to be 1 or more so

8= x+y 

8= x + 1

-1

7= x

so x is < 8

Answer is A

Answer: The correct option is,

A. <

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

\(8=x+y-----(1)\)

Also,

\(y > 0\)

Adding x on both sides ( additive property of inequality )

\(x+y>x+0\)

\(x+y>x\)

From equation (1),

\(8>x\)

Hence, x is less than 8,

We use < sign for less than,

⇒ x is '<' 8

Option A is correct.
