Question

which of the following inequalities represents the given statement? 3 more than 5 times a number x is less then 26

Answer 1

let the unknown number be

`=x`

5 times a number x

`=5x`

3 more than 5 times a number x means, adding 3 to 5times the number

`5x+3`

less than 26​, means

`<26`

Combining both expressions,we will have

`5x+3<26`

Hence,

The final answer is OPTION A
