Mrs. Miller wrote "Eight less than three times a number is greater than fifteen" on the board. If x represents the number, which inequality is a correct translation of this statement? 3x - 8 > 15
3x - 8 < 15
8 - 3x > 15
8 - 3x < 15
2 answers:
8 less is going to be minus 8. Three times something will be represented by 3x. Greater than means the symbol opens and faces the left (points to the right). So the answer is the first one: 3x-8 > 15.
Three times a number......3x 8 less then 3 times a number.....3x - 8 greater then 15.....> 15 so we have : 3x - 8 > 15
