Question

Two more than a number is less than twice that number. Write the correct inequality that represents the sentence.

Answer 1

Let the unknown number be x;

Two more than the number is expressed as x + 2

Twice of that number is expressed as 2x

Now, if two more than a number is less than twice that number, we can express that as;

`x+2<2x`

Hence the correct inequality that represents the sentence is;

`x_{}+2<2x`
