It is 5n - 8 <= 2n + 10
6x -5 < 2x +10
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
What is the quotient of twice the number and three
Twice a number means to multiply the number by 2
(10)(2x)
2n-10
My number is 11.
2x - 6 = 10 x = 8
It is 5n - 8 <= 2n + 10
11
Let the number be x and so 3x+10-2x which can be simplified to x+10
6x -5 < 2x +10
20-2x=3x-10 if its relevant the solution is x=6
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
twice a number means a number times 2
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
