Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

  1 3/4         14

------------ = --------

  2 1/2           x

where x is the unknown number.

Converting the mixed numbers to improper fractions, we get:

7/4       14

------ = -----

5/2        x

Here there are two numerators and two denominators.  Multiplying all four quantities by 4 will remove some of the fractions:

 7        56

------ = -------

 10       4x

Cross multiplying, we get:

28 x = 560, or x = 20

Nineteen more than a number is less than 42
Lelechka [254]
We are trying to find the number that when added to 19, gives us less than 42. We can set up this simple inequality:

19 + x < 42

Now, subtract 19 from both sides:

x < 23

Our number can be anything less than 23.
