A number times two is less than 20 + 8.

PLS HELP!

Answer 1

Answer:

solving the inequality we get $x < 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the inequality A number times two is less than 20 + 8

Let the number be x

The inequality will be:

2x < 20+8

Now solving the inequality to find the value of x

$2x < 20+8\\2x < 28\\x<\frac{28}{2}\\x<14$

So, solving the inequality we get $x < 14$

In figure a I am attaching the number line for solution.

In figure b I am attaching the graph for solution.
