Eight times the sum of a number and 30 is less than or equal to 25. I need to turn this sentence into an inequality.
To turn the sentence "Eight times the sum of a number and 30 is less than or equal to 25" into an inequality, we can use the following notation:
8(x + 30) ≤ 25
So the inequality would be 8(x + 30) ≤ 25, where x represents the unknown number.
To turn the sentence "Eight times the sum of a number and 30 is less than or equal to 25" into an inequality, let's break it down:
Let's start by representing "a number" as 'x':
The sum of a number and 30 is 'x + 30'.
Next, we will multiply it by 8, so the expression becomes '8(x + 30)'.
The sentence states that this expression is less than or equal to 25, so we can write the inequality as:
8(x + 30) ≤ 25
Therefore, the inequality is 8(x + 30) ≤ 25.
sum of a number and 30 ... x+30
Eight times the sum ... 8(x+30)
I think you can fill in the rest now, eh?
