NEED HELP NOW!

Write a mathematical sentence that expresses the information given below. Use b as your variable name. If necessary:type < = to mean or > = to mean .If you need to show multiplication, do not use the letter x. Use the asterisk ( * ) symbol instead, or simplify your answer.Emily has 250 books. If Frank were to double the number of books that he now owns, he would have more than Emily has.

Answer 1

As requested, let's call the number of books owned by Frank as
`b`.

If Frank were to double the number of books that he now owns, he would have
`2b` books. In fact, doubling a certain number means to multiply it by 2.

This quantity (the double of books Frank has) is greater than the number of books Mary has, which is 250. So, the answer is

`2b > 250`

In case you need it, the solution is

`b > 125`
