Question

Write an inequality statement that represents "two and 5 tenths minus 2 times the quantity of the

difference of negative 3 and one half and two times a number is at least ten and three quarters".

Answer 1

2.5 - 2(-3-0.5) + 2(n) > 10.75

Explanation:

Step 1: two and 5 tenths is 2.5

Step 2: 2 times the quantity of the difference of negative three and one half is 2(-3-1/2)

Step 3: two times a number is at least ten and three quarters = 2(n) > 10.75

Combine: 2.5 - 2(-3-0.5) + 2(n) > 10.75
