Fifteen less than four times a number is more than 49. What are all the possible values of the number?
Write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem.
Let's denote the number as "x".
The given condition states that "Fifteen less than four times a number is more than 49".
In mathematical terms, this can be represented as:
4x - 15 > 49.
To solve this inequality, we can add 15 to both sides:
4x > 49 + 15
4x > 64
Finally, dividing both sides by 4 gives us:
x > 64/4
x > 16
So, the possible values of the number "x" are all real numbers greater than 16.
