Ten less than twice a number is equal to at least 52. What are all the possible values of the number? Write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem. Use the letter x as the variable, and write the inequality so that the x term comes first. Do not solve the inequality.Note: You will find the option to add a >, <, ≥, or ≤ symbol in the Comparison (<)keyboard.(1 point)Skip to navigation
can you explain it a bit better because i don't really know how to do it properly and get the correct answer
Sure! Let's break down the problem step by step.
We are given the information that "Ten less than twice a number is equal to at least 52."
Let's assume the number is represented by the variable x.
According to the information given, "Ten less than twice a number" can be expressed as 2x - 10.
And we know that this expression is "equal to at least 52."
So we can write the inequality as:
2x - 10 ≥ 52
To summarize:
The inequality is 2x - 10 ≥ 52. (x is the variable representing the number)
