Translate the sentence into an inequality.
Six increased by the product of a number and
10
is at most
−16
.
Use the variable
x
for the unknown number.
Ten increased by the product of a number and 4 is less than 17.
Ten increased by the product of a number and 4 is less than 17.
Five increased by the product of a number and 6 is greater than 30.
Sure, let's translate the sentence into an inequality using the variable x for the unknown number.
"Six increased by the product of a number and 10 is at most -16."
This can be written as:
6 + 10x ≤ -16
To translate the sentence into an inequality, we can break it down step by step:
1. "Six increased by the product of a number and 10": This can be written as 6 + (10x), where x represents the unknown number.
2. "Is at most −16": This means that the expression in step 1 should be less than or equal to -16.
Putting it together, the inequality becomes:
6 + 10x ≤ -16
