Question

Eight less than four times a number is less than 56. What are the possible values of that number?

Answer 1

Let the number be x

when it is 8less than 4times the x the inequality equation we get is:

4x-8<56 (since it says it's less than 56)

4x<56+8

4x<64

x<64÷4

x<16

the possible values are all numbers less than 16
