Question

3.) Write an inequality for the phrase "two more than three times a number is at

Answer 1

Answer:

3x + 2 ≤ 53

Step-by-step explanation:

"2 more than" means that there will be a + 2 in the equation. "3 times a number" means that 3 is multiplied by an unknown number which can be represented by a variable such as x. "At most" means less than or equal to, since the number cannot be greater than.

So generally, you might want to write the equation as 2 + 3x ≤ 53, but 2 + 3x is not in y = mx + b form. Basically, you need to write it as 3x + 2 ≤ 53 because that's how math works.
