The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of comparing Quantity A and Quantity B, we have: - Quantity A: \( \frac{x}{2} \) - Quantity B: \( 2x \) We need to determine the relationship between these two quantities for different values of \( x \). ### Step 1: Choose a value for \( x \) Let's start by choosing a simple value for \( x \). We will first try \( x = 2 \). ### Step 2: Calculate Quantity A and Quantity B for \( x = 2 \) - Quantity A: \[ \frac{x}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \] - Quantity B: \[ 2x = 2 \times 2 = 4 \] ### Step 3: Compare Quantity A and Quantity B for \( x = 2 \) Now we compare: - Quantity A = 1 - Quantity B = 4 Since \( 1 < 4 \), we find that Quantity B is greater than Quantity A. ### Step 4: Choose another value for \( x \) Next, let's try a negative value for \( x \). We will use \( x = -2 \). ### Step 5: Calculate Quantity A and Quantity B for \( x = -2 \) - Quantity A: \[ \frac{x}{2} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1 \] - Quantity B: \[ 2x = 2 \times -2 = -4 \] ### Step 6: Compare Quantity A and Quantity B for \( x = -2 \) Now we compare: - Quantity A = -1 - Quantity B = -4 Since \( -1 > -4 \), we find that Quantity A is greater than Quantity B. ### Step 7: Analyze the results From our calculations: - For \( x = 2 \), Quantity B is greater than Quantity A. - For \( x = -2 \), Quantity A is greater than Quantity B. ### Conclusion Since we have obtained opposing results depending on the value of \( x \), we cannot definitively conclude the relationship between Quantity A and Quantity B for all values of \( x \). Therefore, the answer is that there is no consistent relationship between the two quantities. ### Final Answer The correct option is D: The relationship cannot be determined from the information given. ---
