Question

What is 9.1 less than a number is less than 4.6 equals?

Answer 1

n > 13.7

Explanation:

Writing a symbolic statement, we get:

n - 9.1 < 4.6

Multiplying all three terms by 10 removes fractions:

10n - 91 > 46

Adding 91 to both sides isolates the 10n term:

10n > 46 + 91, or 10n > 137

Then n > 137/10, or n > 13.7
