Translate the sentence into an inequality.
The difference of twice a number and is less than or equal to .
Use the variable for the unknown number.
To translate the sentence into an inequality, we need to break it down into smaller parts:
"Twice the difference of a number and 4" can be represented as 2(x - 4), where x represents the number.
"Is at most" means less than or equal to, so we use the less than or equal to symbol (≤).
Finally, "21" represents the number we are comparing our expression to.
Combining everything, the inequality becomes:
2(x - 4) ≤ 21
w-4 greater than equal -30
2y-4 >21
Now, it's your turn. I'll be glad to check your answer.
Correction:
2(y - 4) > 21
