Question

Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than 36. What is the number?

Answer 1

Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than 36:
27-x<36

solve for x:
27-1x<36 (subtract 27 on both sides)
-1x<9 (dived by -1 on both sides)
x>-9

the answer is any number greater than -9

Answer 2

All real numbers greater than or equal to
`-9`

Explanation:

we know that

The expression " Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than
`36`" is equivalent to the algebraic inequality

`27-x\leq 36`

solve for x

`-x\leq 36-27`

`-x\leq 9` ------> Multiply by
`-1`

`x\geq-9`

The solution is the interval ----->
`[-9,infinite)`

All real numbers greater than or equal to
`-9`
