It is 5n - 8 <= 2n + 10
6x -5 < 2x +10
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
Twice a number means to multiply the number by 2
Twice the number is something like 3x2, 4x2.... Squared is 3x3, 4x4. It's one number multiplied by itself twice
(10)(2x)
2n-10
My number is 11.
2x - 6 = 10 x = 8
It is 5n - 8 <= 2n + 10
Let the number be x and so 3x+10-2x which can be simplified to x+10
11
6x -5 < 2x +10
20-2x=3x-10 if its relevant the solution is x=6
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
Six times a number minus five is less than twice the number plus ten. 6 * n - 5 < 2 * n + 10 6n - 5 < 2n + 10 4n - 5 < 10 4n < 15 n < 15/4 This statement will hold true for all n < 15/4
Just write an odd digit in the one's position, and repeat that digit in the ten's position.
