i think it is if you simlify it the answer would be x+(-2)>8

That's the distributive property.
To ensure that you get the same sum at least six times when throwing two dice, you can use the pigeonhole principle. There are 11 possible sums (from 2 to 12). If you throw the dice 55 times, then by the pigeonhole principle, at least one sum must occur at least six times, because (55 \div 11 = 5) remainder 0, meaning each sum can occur up to five times before hitting the sixth. Thus, you need to throw the dice 55 times to guarantee that the same sum appears at least six times.

The sum of two times a number (let's call it ( x )) and five is expressed as ( 2x + 5 ). The phrase "at 8 to 6 times the number" can be interpreted as ( 8 - 6x ). Therefore, the complete expression for the sum is ( 2x + 5 + (8 - 6x) ). Simplifying this yields ( -4x + 13 ).

The sum of two number times a third numberis equal to the sum of each addend times the third number
That's the distributive property.
It is either two times the number or 0.
Let x represent the number. 2 times the number would be 2x, and 5 times the number would be 5x. The sum of the two would be 2X + 5x = 7x

"Sum" requires at least two numbers. So there cannot be athree digit number that sums to anything.

Let's call the number XTwice the number would be 2XFour times the same number would be 4XThe sum of these two is 2X + 4X = 6XThe answer is therefore six times the number.
