Question

Five decreased by half of a number is less than 7 or greater than 10. Write an

inequality to represent the possible values of the number.

Answer 1

7 < 32/2 - 5 > 10

Explanation:

half of a number could be any number so I choose 32

half of 32 is 32/2 = 16

16 - 5 = 11

therefore 7 is less than 11 and 11 is greater than 10
