Question

Nineteen more than a number is less than 42

Answer 1

X + 19 < 42 is the answer

Answer 2

We are trying to find the number that when added to 19, gives us less than 42. We can set up this simple inequality:

19 + x < 42

Now, subtract 19 from both sides:

x < 23

Our number can be anything less than 23.
