Question

Create an inequality that represents the verbal description below

The product of ten and a number is greater than the difference of four times the number and two.

Answer 1

that would be

10x > 4x - 2

Answer 2

The inequality is
`10x>4x-2`

Explanation:

We are given the statement,

'The product of ten and a number is greater than the difference of four times the number and 2'.

Let the number be x. So, we have,

Product of ten and the number =
`10x`

Four time the number =
`4x`

Difference of four times the number and 2 =
`4x-2`

Thus, according to the statement,

Product of ten and the number > Difference of four times the number and 2

i.e.
`10x>4x-2`

So, the inequality is
`10x>4x-2`.
