​

Answer 1

Answer: 50

Explanation:

49 - 14 = 35

35/7 = 5

10 x 5 = 50

Since, 35 is Seven tenths of a number, One tenth is 5 and there are ten tenths, One tenth which is 5 times ten since there are ten tenths equals to 50 (5 x 10 = 50).

Answer 2

50. ☺️☺️

Explanation:

I'm going to assume you need this inequality solved.

First, write it as numbers, not words.

7/10n + 14 < 49

where "n" is the unknown number.

Second, if I were you, I'd change that fraction into a decimal, as it'll make life easier later on.

7/10 = 0.7

Now, solve it like you would any other equation.

0.7n + 14 < 49

0.7n +14 - 14 < 49 - 14

0.7n < 35

0.7n ÷ 0.7 < 35 ÷ 0.7

n < 50

The answer is n < 50
