Answer:

98.6 – x < 95; x > 3.6  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the degrees below normal temperature

The person will have hypothermia if

98.6 – x < 95      Subtract 98.6 from each side

         -x < -3.6     Multiply each side by -1

          x >  3.6

A person will have hypothermia if the body temperature is more than 3.6 °F below normal.

The diagram below shows that any value of x greater than 3.6 will satisfy the inequality.
