Question

"Four times the difference of a number and seven is at least -52."

Answer 1

Remember ‘difference’ refers to subtraction, so they are looking for the ‘difference’ of a a number, which is unknown, so we can use the variable ‘x.’ X-7

The term ‘at least’ refers to our greater than, less than, equal to signs

Difference of a number and 7 = x-7
Four times = (4) or •4
At least = <
-52 = Answer negative 52
Plug them all in,

x-7(4)<-52
