Step 1

To change word problem to an inequality, you must take the word problem step by step and translate it into an inequality.

Step 2

Take the word problem step by step


\begin{gathered} \text{Twenty refers to the number }^(\prime)20^(\prime) \\ \text{Twenty subtracted from means 20 was removed from something.} \\ i.e\text{ say x-20} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{Twenty subtract}ed\text{ from the product of seven and a number } \\ \text{Product of seven and a number first} \\ Let\text{ the number be x} \\ so\text{ it now} \\ \text{Product of seven and x=7x } \end{gathered}
\text{Twenty subtract}ed\text{ from the product of seven and a number}=7x-20
