Question

Six times a number is at least four less than eight times the number. If x represents the number, which will help find the number? 6 x less than 8 x minus 4 6 x less-than-or-equal-to 8 x minus 4 6 x greater-than-or-equal-to 8 x minus 4 6 x greater-than 8 x minus 4

Answer 1

Answer:

The inequation 6x ≥ 8x - 4 can be used to find the solution.

The solution is x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number then six times a number is the multiplication of x by 6, and four less than eight times the number can be written as: 8x -4

6x ≥ 8x - 4

Solving the inequation;

Subtracting 6x each side:

0 ≥ 8x - 6x -4

Summing 4 each side

4 ≥ 2x

Dividing by 2 each side

2 ≥ x

2 greater or equal than x is the same as:

x ≤ 2
