Write it in mathematical sentence

Answer 1

200>3x, The amount of books Frank owns are unknown and can be characterized by a variable such as x.

Answer 2

The Mathematical Sentence is 3x < 200.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of books that Emily has = 200

If Frank were to Triple the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than Emily has.

To find: Mathematical Sentence for the given situation

let x be the number of books that Franks owns now.
