Answer:

a) The difference of a number and six is no less than 15

x - 6 ≥ 15

b) 25 plus a number is at least 13

25 + x ≥ 13

c) g decreased by 25 is at most five

g - 25 ≤ 5

Explanation:

a) The difference of a number and six is no less than 15

Let the number be represented by x

We difference is involved in a mathematics question, it requires the application of Subtraction operation, hence:

x - 6 ≥ 15

b) 25 plus a number is at least 13

Let the unknown number be represented by x

When at least is used in Mathematics, is means greater than or equal to a particular value,

Hence,

25 + x ≥ 13

c) g decreased by 25 is at most five

At most means less than or equal to a particular value, hence:

g - 25 ≤ 5
