We just need to look very closely at what we're given. So let's break it up:
Twice x -- this means 2x
When we hear "is" this means -- =
42 less than, means -- that we'll be subtracting
5 times x, which we write as -- 5x.
Now if we put all this together, we get the following: 2x=5x-42
If we were asked to solve for x, we'd just subtract 5x from both sides, get -3x=-42, divide both sides by -3, and get x=14.
2x-8
3*(n - 5) = 2*n + 11
2x = <4
4n - 1
13 < 2n - 5 < 21
the quotient of twice a number and six is.... 2x/6 four less than three times the same number is .... 3x-4 So the equation would be 2x/6=3x-4
6x -5 < 2x +10
3a-6x2
As an algebraic expression it is: 2x-9
2x-8
3*(n - 5) = 2*n + 11
2x = <4
( 2q - 10 )
Over twice, but less than about 7.
4n-5 (Which is four times a number minus 5)
One less than twice a number = (X times 2) minus 1, (where X = your number of choice).
32 - 2x < 18
