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
To write out the given statement algebraically, you would start by defining the variable for the number, let's say it is represented by 'x'. The equation would be: 6x - 5 < 2x + 10. This equation represents the statement "Six times a number minus five is less than twice the number plus ten" in algebraic form. To solve this inequality, you would isolate the variable 'x' by performing operations to simplify and find the range of values that satisfy the inequality.
3a-6x2
As an algebraic expression it is: 2x-9
2x-8
3*(n - 5) = 2*n + 11
2x = <4
( 2q - 10 )
Two times less than 100 would be 50. When you say something is "two times less," you are essentially subtracting twice the value from the original amount. In this case, 100 minus 2 times 50 equals 50.
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).
