Question

Two decreased by three times a number is less than thirty-five. Find the numbers that satisfy this relationship.

Answer 1

N can = 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9,10,11,12 or n < 1

Explanation:

Two decreased by three times a number = 2 - 3n

2 - 3n < 35

numbers that satisfy

n can equal 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

2 - 3n < 35

2 - (3 x 1) < 35

2 - 3 < 35

do this with all the numbers and you will get less than 35
