Question

Eight less than four times a number is less than 56. What are the possible values of that number?

Answer 1

Answer:

All the numbers which are lesser than 16 satisfies this condition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

We have 8 less than four times a number is less than 56

That is

           4x - 8 < 56

               4x < 64

                  x < 16

So all the numbers which are lesser than 16 satisfies this condition.

Answer 2

4x - 8 < 56
4x < 56 + 8
4x < 64
x < 64/4
x < 16 <===
