Using x as the variable, write the equation or inequality that would correctly solve this problem. Eight times what number is greater than 72?
8x > 72
using x as a variable write the inequality graphed on the number line.
i messed up but here is another one children.
Using x as a variable write the inequality graphed on the number line.Also the dot is on 7 i tried my best.

-9 -8 -7 -6 -5
To write the equation for this problem, let's assume that the unknown number is represented by the variable 'x'.
We are given that "eight times what number is greater than 72." To translate this into an equation, we can write it as:
8x > 72
In this equation, 8x represents "eight times the number" and 72 represents "greater than 72".
So the equation that would correctly solve this problem is 8x > 72.
