When an answer to a question uses the greater than symbol, that means any number above the number used is a possible answer to the equation. However, when it's just a simple "x = 2", then 2 is the only possible answer to that equation. Think about it as if it were on a graph. In the attached file I have a graph that is displaying the equation "x > 4". The entire shaded area to the right of 4 could be a possible answer.
Hope this helps.
Hello.
First of all, let the number be t.
8 times t can be written like this:
Notice that the number is before the variable and the times sign (×) is not there.
We can write it as 8×t, but we usually write it as 8t.
The sum of means we add:
8t+21
Now, "less than" is "<" :
Therefore, the answer is
I hope it helps.
Have a nice day.
