It is 5n - 8 <= 2n + 10
three times a number decreased by eleven
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
2x-5 is twice a number decreased by 5.
Either 2*(n-4) = 2n - 8 or 2n - 4 It depends on whether the "twice" operates on "the number decreased by 4" or "the number".
60 - 2n
twice the difference of three times a number and eight
three times a number decreased by eleven
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
2x-5 is twice a number decreased by 5.
If you have a number x, then twice that number is 2*x and so the expression means 42 - 2*x
Either 2*(n-4) = 2n - 8 or 2n - 4 It depends on whether the "twice" operates on "the number decreased by 4" or "the number".
60 - 2n
13
24
the number is negative two.
