Question

Which inequality represents "six times a number is less than negative thirty-nine and three-quarters"?

Answer 1

6*n < - (39 + 3/4)

Explanation:

Let's do it in steps:

"Six times a number" can be written as:

6*n

Where n is the "number"

"... is less than negative thirty-nine and three-quarters "

then we have:

6*n < - (39 + 3/4)

This is the inequality we wanted, now we can also solve this for n as:

n < -(39 + 3/4)/6
