Question

Select the inequality that represents the relationship described below.

The sum of three times a number and seven is greater than four times the number.
O A.
3x-7> 4x
B.
3 - 7x> 4x
C.
3x + 7 > 4x
OD. 3 + 7x> 4x

Answer 1

Option C

3x + 7 > 4x is the inequality for sum of three times a number and seven is greater than four times the number

Solution:

Given that the statement is:

The sum of three times a number and seven is greater than four times the number

We have to find the inequality that represents the above statement

Let the number be "x"

Therefore,

sum of three times "x" and seven is greater than four times "x"

Here "times" represents product or multiplication

Thus we get,

three times "x" + 7 > 4 times "x"

`3x + 7> 4x`

Thus the inequality is found. Option C is correct
