n > -6 is the inequality for 16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given statement is:

16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

We have to write a inequality

From given statement,

16 plus 5 times a number is more than the number minus 8

Let the number be "n"

Therefore,

16 plus 5 times "n" is more than "n" minus 8

Here, "plus" means addition and "minus" means subtraction and "times" means multiplication

Thus the statement is translated into inequality as:

16 + 5n >n-8

Simplify the inequality

16 + 5n >n-8\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}16\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\16 + 5n -16 > n - 8 -16\\\\5n >n-24\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}n\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\5n-n>n-24-n\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\4n>-24\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4\\\\\frac{4n}{4}>\frac{-24}{4}\\\\n>-6

Thus the soultion is n > -6

On her birthday, Sonia distributed chocolates in an orphanage. She gave 5 chocolates to each child and 20 chocolates to adults.
qwelly [4]

Answer with explanation:

Total number of Children = x Children

Total number of chocolates distributed = y Chocolates

If there are x children, then total number of chocolate got by children= 5 x Chocolate

Number of chocolate got by Adults= 20

Let total number of adults be z.

Expressing the statement in terms of Equation

 y = 5 x + 20 z

z=\frac{y-5 x}{20}

⇒Number of Adults =z

       =\frac{y-5 x}{20}
