Sorry I'm not sure if I'm right just my thinking...
set the number to be x so that (5x+2)(3x-4)??
X+6 less than or equal to 10
X+14 greater than or equal to 18
1/2 - 1/4x ≥ -1/4
Combine 1/4x to get x/4:
1/2 - x/4 ≥ -1/4
Subtract 1/2 from both sides:
-x/4 ≥ -1/4 - 1/2
Simplify:
-x/4 ≥ -3/4
Multiply both sides by 4:
-x ≥ -3/4 * 4
-x ≥ -3
Multiply each side by -1 ( and since you are multiplying by -1, you also need to reverse the inequality sign)
Answer: x ≤ 3

Answer: The book costs $10 and the pen costs $4✔️
Step-by-step explanation:
Let B the cost of the book and let P the cost of the pen.
Then we know:
The book and the pen cost $14:
B + P = $14 } Equation 1
We also know:
The cost of the book is two dollars more than twice the cost of the pen.
B = 2P + $2 } Equation 2
Now we can substitute the value of B from the equation 2 in the equation 1:
2P + $2 + P = $14
3P = $14 - $2 = $12
P = $12/3 = $4 , cost of the pen
Since we know the value of B from the equation 2, we can calculate B:
B = 2P + $2 = 2x$4 + $2 = $8 + $2 = $10 , cost of the book
Answer: The book costs $10 and the pen costs $4✔️
<h3>Verify </h3>
We can substitute these values in equations 1 and 2 and check the results:
B + P = $14 } Equation 1
$10 + $4 = $14 ✔️check!
B = 2P + $2 } Equation 2
$10 = 2x$4 + $2 = $8 + $2 = $10 ✔️check!
