It is 5n - 8 <= 2n + 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
"Five Times the Difference" implies multiplying five by an operation of subtraction so you would represent it by using parentheses: 5(number - number). "Twice a number" means you are multiplying an unknown number, X, by 2. So you represent this as 2x. The equation now looks like: 5(2x - 14) "Is negative ten" basically means "Is Equal to -10." The final equation should look like: 5(2x - 14) = -10 Solve using distribution and combining like terms.
(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
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.
4 twenties and 7 tens
