Question

Five less than twice a number is greater than the number minus 2

Answer 1

2x-5>x-2

I'm assuming you wanted the equation: 2x-5>x-2 I assumed you don't need it solved...?

Answer 2

x > 3

(x is greater than 3)

Explanation:

Let the number be x

According to given condition:

Five less than twice a number > number - 2

Mathematically,

2x - 5 > x - 2

Adding 5 on both sides to simplify the expression:

2x > x - 2 + 5

2x > x + 3

Subtracting x from both sides we get:

2x - x > 3

x > 3

So this the simplified expression.
