The question is: What is x if 1 is less than 2x?
Solution method:
1. Reduce the equation to a value for x. i.e. divide everything by 2
So 0.5 is less than 1x (0.5 < x),
2. Reverse the equation and change the signs
Answer: x is greater 0.5 (x > 0.5)
i.e. If x is greater than 0.5, then 1 is less than twice x.
One less than twice a number = (X times 2) minus 1, (where X = your number of choice).
This forms an equation which solves nicely: 2x-7 = x-1 x-7 = -1 x = 6

If 'x' is more than 1, then x2 is more than 'x'. If 'x' is less than 1, then x2 is less than 'x'.

The expression that represents 5 less than twice x is ( 2x - 5 ). Here, "twice x" is represented by ( 2x ), and subtracting 5 from it gives us the final expression.
Factors of 28 include 7 x 4. 7 is 1 less than twice 4...

The expression for "five less than twice x" can be written as (2x - 5). Here, (2x) represents twice the value of (x), and subtracting 5 indicates that we are taking five away from that amount.
you r asking a number whose twice will be 4 but less than 8. so, take a no. x. by ques. 2x=4; 2x=4; x=4/2; hence x=2; 2 is answer and less than 8 of twice it.
If 'x' is more than 1, then x2 is more than 'x'. If 'x' is less than 1, then x2 is less than 'x'.

2x + 4 < x x < -4
Let x = length and y = width Then x + y = 19 Therefore x = 19 - y Also x = 2y - 1 (the length is 1 less than twice the width) So as x = x then 19 - y = 2y - 1 Therefore 3y = 20 which makes y = 6.666667 inches (width) and x = 19 - 6.666667 = 12.333333 inches (length) Twice the width would be 2 x 6.666667 = 13.3333333 inches and 1 less will be 12.3333333 inches (as above)
