Question

select the inequality that represents the relationship desribed below the sum of three times a number and seven is greater than four times the number

Answer 1

There are many combinations based on the number you chose to subtract from both sides.

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

3 x+7 > 4 x

We get, 3 x+1=4 x-6, after subtracting 6 from both sides.

3 x+1=4 x-6

4 x- 3 x=6+1

x=7

You will get the same answer if you subtract 3 x or 7 or any other number from both sides.
