Question

Write an inequality for the sentence: twice a number, decreased by the quotient of that number and 2, is at least 12.

Answer 1

2x-(2/X+2)>12. I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

We are asked to write a certain equation. Your first task is to read the statement thoroughly. If you've notice, the statement mentioned "a number". Let's assign x to be the number. First statment is twice a number (2x). Then, decreased by the quotient of that number and 2 (-x/2). Lastly, the statement at least 12 is written as >12. 

2x - (x/2) >12
