Twenty more than twice a number is 52
3n>8
5
3x-8>15
==> [ 3x - 8 ]
4x - 8 = 8(x + 2)
8n - 9 = 17
If: 3x-8 = -14 then x = -2
8<(4n+10)
36
The phrase "Eight less than four times a number is the same as six times the number" can be expressed mathematically as ( 4x - 8 = 6x ), where ( x ) is the unknown number. To solve for ( x ), you can rearrange the equation: ( 4x - 6x = 8 ), which simplifies to ( -2x = 8 ). Dividing both sides by -2 gives ( x = -4 ). Thus, the number is -4.
fourteen less than three fourths of a number is negative eight find the number
Eight less than nine is one, and eight less than ten is two. Therefore, the numbers that are eight less than nine and ten are one and two, respectively.
