Question

Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than 36. What is the number?

Answer 1

Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than 36:
27-x<36  

solve for x:
27-1x<36        (subtract 27 on both sides)
 -1x<9             (dived by -1 on both sides)
x>-9

the answer is any number greater than -9

Answer 2

Answer:

All real numbers greater than or equal to $-9$  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The expression " Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than $36$" is equivalent to the algebraic inequality

$27-x\leq 36$

solve for x

$-x\leq 36-27$

$-x\leq 9$ ------> Multiply by $-1$

$x\geq-9$

The solution is the interval -----> $[-9,infinite)$

All real numbers greater than or equal to $-9$
