Question

Which equation or inequality represents the following description? & Multiply the quantity 2 more than a number by 8. The result is at least 12 times the number subtracted from 76.A. 8(2n) < 76 - 12B. 8n + 2 = 12n - 76C. 8(n + 2) > 76 - 12nD. 8(2n) = 76 – 12n

Answer 1

We can translate the wording part as follows:

1. Multiply the quantity 2 more than a number by 8:

8 * (2 + n)

2. The result is at least: it means that the value is the value in question or values greater than this number, therefore, we have an inequality here ( >=).

3. The result is at least 12 times the number subtracted from 76:

76 - 12n

Therefore, the inequality that represents the description is:

$8\cdot(2+n)\ge76-12n$

Then, the correct option is C.
