the sum of a number times 5 and 28 is greater than 22. can you translate this?
5x + 28 > 22
Sure! Let's break down the sentence and translate it step-by-step:
1. "The sum" means that we will be adding two values together.
2. "Of a number times 5 and 28" means we are adding the product of a number multiplied by 5 to the value 28.
3. "Is greater than 22" means the sum we get should be bigger than 22.
In equation form, this can be translated as:
(number × 5) + 28 > 22
Certainly!
To translate the given statement, let's break it down into smaller parts:
"The sum of a number times 5 and 28 is greater than 22."
Let's assume the unknown number as 'x'.
The sum of a number times 5 can be represented as 5x, and if we add 28 to it, we get 5x + 28.
So, the translated statement is:
5x + 28 > 22
This inequality represents that when we multiply the number by 5, add 28 to the result, the resulting value is greater than 22.
