The inequality is 4x - 6 < - 2 and solution for number is x < 1, where "x" is the variable

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that four times a number decreased by 6 is less than -2

To find: Define a variable, write an inequality, and solve for the number​

Let "x" be the required number

From given information,

four times a number decreased by 6 < -2

four times "x" decreased by 6 < - 2

Here "times" represents multiplication. Four times x means 4 is multiplied by x

Decreased means something is subtracted away

Here 6 is subtracted from four times "x"

<em><u>So we frame a inequality as:</u></em>

4x - 6 < - 2

Moving -6 from R.H.S to L.H.S,

4x < -2 + 6

4x < 4

Dividing both sides by 4,

x < 1

Thus the inequality is 4x - 6 < - 2 and solution for number is x < 1

If 3/4 of a certain number is equal to 41/2 find the number​
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

x = \frac{82}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • let x be that number

(\frac{3}{4} )x =  \frac{41}{2}

\frac{3x}{4} = \frac{41}{2}

  • multiply both sides by 4

\frac{3x}{4} * 4 = 4 * \frac{41}{2} \\3x = \frac{41 }{2} * 2 * 2\\3x = 41 *2 \\3x = 82 \\

  • divide both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{82}{3}

x = \frac{82}{3}
