Question

Five times the difference of a number and twelve is greater than forty.

Answer 1

Answer:

This is the value in numbers.

5(n-12)>40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

5(n−12)>40

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

5n−60>40

Step 2: Add 60 to both sides.

5n−60+60>40+60

5n>100

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5n

Answer:

n>20

Answer 2

Answer:

so, the required inequality is : -

=》5(x - 12) > 40

and it's solution: -

=》x > 20

Step-by-step explanation:

here's the solution : -

let the number be x

difference between the number and 12 is :-

=》x - 12

five times the difference of a number and 12 is :-

=》5(x - 12)

and we know this is greater than forty

so, the inequality will be : -

=》5(x - 12) > 40

now solving the inequality : -

=》x - 12 > 40 ÷ 5

=》x > 8 + 12

=》x > 20
