Question

Write the inequality:

Two less than twice a number is less than a half.

Answer 1

2x-2<1/2

Explanation:

when the problem says "two less than" it means we are subtracting 2 from something, in this case, that something is "twice a number" as the problem states. So we would write 2x where x is a variable that represents any number so we have 2x-2<1/2.
