"No fewer than two" is synonymous with "at least two."
34,24,23,14,13, or even 12.
The answer is 8. The equation is 10x-2=78. Add 2 to both sides so that the equation is 10x=80. Then divide by 10 to get x by itself. You are left with x=8.
two less than three times a number is 28
2x-10
because it has more than two factors

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.
Four fewer than two fewer than three times a number. You need to be very careful about phrases like three times a number reduced by two for 3*x-2 because the phrase could also refer to three times (a number reduced by two) ie 3*(x-2).
To express "two thirds of a number is no more than negative ten" mathematically, you can use the variable ( x ) to represent the number. The inequality would be written as ( \frac{2}{3}x \leq -10 ). This indicates that when you take two thirds of ( x ), the result must be less than or equal to negative ten.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! "Fewer than 2" simply means you have less than 2 of something. It could be 1, 0.5, or even a fraction like 1/2. Just imagine a small group of happy little numbers, and you're right there with fewer than 2.
