Question

A whole number is 6 more than 2 times another number. The sum of the two numbers is less than 50. This can be written in an inequality as x + 2x + 6 < 50, where x represents the smaller number.

Answer 1

The solution to the system of equation is x < 44/3

Expansion of inequality expressions

Inequality expressions are expressions not separated by an equal sign. An example of an inequality is a < b

Given the inequality expression below;

x  + 2x + 6 < 50

Simplify to have:

3x + 6 < 50

Subtract 6 from both sides

3x + 6 - 6 < 50 - 6

3x < 50 - 6

3x < 44

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 < 44/3

x < 44/3

Hence the solution to the system of equation is x < 44/3
