Question

Which of the inequalities represents the statement, "two times a number x, less 15, is greater than or equal to 4 times the number y"?

Answer 1

The choices are:

A) 
2x - 15 ≤ 4y 


B) 
2x - 15 ≥ 4y 


C) 
15 - 2x ≤ 4y 


D) 
15 - 2x ≥ 4y

Therefore, the best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the fourth choice "15 - 2x ≥ 4y". I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Answer 2

we know that

1) The expression "two times a number x, less $15$", represent the equation

$2x-15$

2) The expression "$4$ times the number y", represent the equation

$4y$

3) The expression "is greater than or equal to", represent the symbol

$\geq$

so

4)The complete expression "two times a number x, less $15$, is greater than or equal to $4$ times the number y", represent the inequality

$2x-15\geq 4y$

using a graphing tool

The answer is

$2x-15\geq 4y$
