Question

For more than three times a number is greater than 22

Answer 1

Answer:

Four more than three times a number is greater than twenty-two.What is the number?

The number is greater than 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Four more than three times a number is twenty-two.

Let the number be 'x'.

Three times of 'x' = '3x'

Four more means further four is added.

So,

The number is $3x+4$

According to the question.

⇒ $3x+4=22$

⇒ $3x+4-4=22-4$  ...Subtracting 4 on both sides

⇒ $3x=18$

⇒ $x=\frac{18}{3}=6$               ...Dividing 6 on both sides

Now if it says that it is greater than 22 then we will use $>$ sign.

So the number is greater than 6 'x' > 6.
