• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Explanation:

Step 1: Translate

"Two" = 2

"minus" = subtraction

"a number x" = x

"is no more than" = <

"0" = 0

Step 2: Set up inequality

2 - x < 0

Step 3: Solve for x

1. Subtract 2 on both sides: -x < -2
2. Divide both sides by -1: x > 2

Here we see that any value larger than 2 would work as a solution of x.
