Question

two times a number less 4 is greater than the same number plus 6. for what number or numbers is true?

Answer 1

n > 10 meaning, n is greater than 10

Explanation:

Two times a number : 2n

Less 4 : -4

2n-4

Greater than the same number : >n

Plus 6 : +6

> n+6

2n-4 > n+6

To find n, we have to get n alone and equal to a single number. To do this, we first subtract 6 from both sides.

2n-10 > n

Then, subtract 2n from both sides

-10 > -n

Now, divide by -1

10 < n

So, n is greater than 10
