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'.

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

2x + 4 < x x < -4
Let the number be x Twice a number means 2x 7 less than twice a number means 2x-7
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)
