Question

Solve: Four more than a number is more than 13
Inequality :
Solution :

Answer 1

x + 4 > 13

x > 9

Explanation:

In this equation, the value of the "number" is unknown, so I used a variable (x) to represent the unknown value.

FOUR more than x would mean addition.

x + 4.

According to this word problem, four more than x is larger than thirteen, so a greater than symbol was used.

Like this,

x + 4 > 13.

We can find the solution to 'x' by subtracting 4 from 13.

Like this,

13 - 4 = 9

Therefore, the solution is x > 9

And, the inequality is x + 4 > 13.
