Ok. is this right.. 14 less than a number is more than 54. d-14>54
Yes, you're right! :-)
Yay!! My heart just sank for a minute.. Thank you Ms. Sue.
You're welcome, Jazz. We've had several pranksters on Jiskha this evening. They've been banned from posting here.
Yes, you are correct.
The statement "14 less than a number is more than 54" can be represented algebraically as `d - 14 > 54`, where 'd' represents the unknown number.
To solve this inequality and find the possible values for 'd', you can follow these steps:
1. Add 14 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable: `d > 54 + 14`.
Simplifying further, we get `d > 68`.
So, the inequality `d > 68` represents the solution to the statement "14 less than a number is more than 54". This means that any value of 'd' greater than 68 would satisfy the original statement.
