Question

Six times a number increased by 4 is no less than 50.

Which inequality represents this statement?
1: 6x+4≤50
2: 6x+4<50
3: 6x+4≥50
4: 6x+4>50

Answer 1

3.

Explanation:

For this question, you just have to pick apart what "no less than" means. If I say I can have no less than 2 apples to eat, that's me saying that that's the minimum number I can have, but 2 apples is also still fine. In this case, that minimum is 50 but we can still have over 50. So, 6x+4 can be greater than or equal to 50.
