Make sure you substitute x for 3
The equation would be:
5-3<8
Subtract 3
2<8
The statement is true
By using the information you have, you can use make a proportion to solve this.
You burn 4 logs in 2 hours or 4/2. You are comparing this to your unknown number, x, over 8 hours. So it looks like this 4/2 = x/8. You read it as four logs in two hours is x logs in eight hours. To solve you cross multiply. You do 2 times x and 4 times eight. That would be 2x= 32. Your goal is getting x alone, so divide each side by 2. Your answer is x= 16 logs in eight hours. You can solve this different and maybe easier ways but this is the best way if you want to get used to going this in algebra. Hope that helps! :)
FYI - 14,15,16 are correct.
17. a) 7 (nearest integer), b) 6.8 (nearest tenth)
18. a) 14 (nearest integer), b) 13.8 (nearest tenth)
19. 
--> simplified to = 2
