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

Contact [7]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.
