Question

Which correctly represents this inequality?

A number times two is less than 20 + 8.

PLS HELP!

Answer 1

solving the inequality we get
`x < 14`

Explanation:

We need to solve the inequality A number times two is less than 20 + 8

Let the number be x

The inequality will be:

2x < 20+8

Now solving the inequality to find the value of x

`2x < 20+8\\2x < 28\\x<(28)/(2)\\x<14`

So, solving the inequality we get
`x < 14`

In figure a I am attaching the number line for solution.

In figure b I am attaching the graph for solution.
