Question

For more than three times a number is greater than 22

Answer 1

Four more than three times a number is greater than twenty-two.What is the number?

The number is greater than 6.

Explanation:

Given:

Four more than three times a number is twenty-two.

Let the number be 'x'.

Three times of 'x' = '3x'

Four more means further four is added.

So,

The number is
`3x+4`

According to the question.

⇒
`3x+4=22`

⇒
`3x+4-4=22-4` ...Subtracting 4 on both sides

⇒
`3x=18`

⇒
`x=(18)/(3)=6` ...Dividing 6 on both sides

Now if it says that it is greater than 22 then we will use
`>` sign.

So the number is greater than 6 'x' > 6.
