See the attached picture:
X + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4 = 110
5x +10 = 110
5x = 100
x = 20
The numbers are
20 21 22 23 and 24
One box is 24lb another box is 8 because i half of 32 is 16 and 1/2 of 166 is 8 so 16 + 8 = 24 leaving another 8 behind
Let us assume number of n.
The number is decreased by 15.
Decreasing by 15 means, we need to subtract 15 from that number.
So, it would be come n-15.
Now, it is said that the number would become less than 2.
So, we need to setup an inequality:
n-15 is less than 2.
<h3>n-15 < 2 : required inequality .</h3>
Adding 15 on both sides, we get
n-15+15 < 2+15
n < 17.
<h3>So, we could say the number would be less than 17.</h3>
