Question

Twice the difference of a number and 2 is at the most 28

Answer 1

Answer: x<16

Explanation:

2(x-2) < 28

2x-4 < 28

2x < 32

x < 16

Answer 2

• h ≤ 16

In-depth explanation:

Hi! This question is asking us to find the number, given that:

Twice the difference of a number and 2 is at the most 28.

Let's call the number h.

The difference of h and 2: h - 2

Twice that difference: 2(h - 2)

The symbol for at most is: ≤

Inequality:
`\sf{2(h-2)\leqslant28}`

`\rule{350}{1}`

SOLVING FOR H

Distribute 2

`\sf{2h-4\leqslant28}`

Add 4 to both sides

`\sf{2h\leqslant32}`

Divide each side by 2

`\sf{h\leqslant16}`
