The sum of 11 and three-fourths of a number is less than 112. What are the possible values of the number? Write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem. Use the letter, "x" as a variable and write the inequality so that the term, "x" term comes first. Where necessary, write numbers as fractions (rather than decimals) do not sulve the inequality
To express the problem mathematically, we can let the number be represented by the variable "x". Then, the sum of 11 and three-fourths of the number can be written as:
11 + (3/4)x
Since this sum is less than 112, we can write the inequality as:
11 + (3/4)x < 112
