Question

Six more than three times a number is less than or equal to 96. d. Five less then half the distance from Jerod’ s home to the mall is more then 6 miles

Answer 1

First statement : Six more than three times a number is less than or equal to 96.

Let us assume number be n.

We can repharse above statement as :

"6 more than 3 times of n is less than or equal to 96".

Therefore, we can write an ineuality as.

3 times of n = 3n

6 more than 3 times of n = 3n+6.

3n+6 ≤ 96.

Statement 2: Five less then half the distance from Jerod’ s home to the mall is more then 6 miles.

Let us distance from Jerod’ s home to the mall is d.

We can repharse above statement as:

5 less than 1/2 of d is more than 6 miles.

5 less than 1/2 of d = 1/2d -5 .

Therefore, we can write an ineuality as.

12d -5 > 6.
