Let’s start with “five more than a number x.” This translates to:

x + 5

This is “less than” 17, so we insert the corresponding symbol and add 17 to the right side of the equation:

x + 5 < 17

This is the translation of the inequality. Now we have to solve it. To do so, simply subtract 5 from both sides of he equation:

x + 5 ( – 5 ) < 17 ( – 5 )
x < 12

This is the solution to the translated inequality.

I hope this helps!

A histogram is used to show the frequency of data, where the length of the bar represents the frequency.

<em>From the histogram, 50 students drank the recommended amount of water. </em>

And the number of students in this bar is: 50

Hence, 50 students drank the recommended amount of water,
