Question

Write the sentence as an inequality. Three times a number r plus 8 is fewer than −12

Answer 1

Answer: $3r+8$.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that three times a number r plus 8 is fewer than −12.

We need to write the sentence as an inequality.

Three times a number r = 3r

Times a number r plus 8 = 3r+8

Fewer than = less than = <

So, the inequality for the sentence "three times a number r plus 8 is fewer than −12" is

$3r+8$

Therefore, the required inequality is $3r+8$.
