translate this sentences into a inequality and describe the solution set

The sum of a number and 6 will be at least 12
The product of 4 and a number, is less than 24

I need an answer please. Preferably now, within 30 minutes

The sum of a number and 6 will be at least 12

n + 6 >/= 12

which of course is the same as n >/= 6

The product of 4 and a number, is less than 24
4 n < 24

which is the same as n < 6

Did you know?

Did you know that inequalities can be used to represent relationships between numbers in a sentence? For example, to translate the sentence "The sum of a number and 6 will be at least 12" into an inequality, we can write it as "x + 6 ≥ 12", where x represents the unknown number. The solution set for this inequality would be x ≥ 6, meaning any number greater than or equal to 6 would make the sum with 6 at least 12. Similarly, to represent the sentence "The product of 4 and a number is less than 24" as an inequality, we can write it as "4x < 24", where x represents the unknown number. The solution set for this inequality would be x < 6, indicating that any number less than 6 would make the product of 4 and that number less than 24. Inequalities provide a concise and mathematical way to express relationships involving numbers and help us understand the possible values for unknown variables based on specific conditions.
