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!

<span><u>Construct inequalities:</u>
Five more than a number x is less than 17
</span>⇒ x + 5 < 17
<span>
<u>Solve x:</u>
</span> x + 5 < 17

Take away 5 from both sides:
x < 17 - 5

Evaluate the right hand side:
x < 12

Answer: x < 12

2y^3 and 4y^2 are like terms, so are y and y^3, since they all contain the variable, Y.

23\frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{4}

3) Change the mixed number into an improper fraction:

\frac{47}{2} * \frac{1}{4}
