Question

Write an inequality for the following problem. Use X as your variable. 10 less than 7 times a number is greater then 56.

Answer 1

7x -10 > 56

Explanation:

For this you simply write what the sentence states. Ten less means you are subtracting 10 from 7 times a number, x. So, 7x -10. The statement also says this is greater than 56, so put >56, for 7x-10>56.
