" four less than twice a number is greater than six " Can someone please write that as an expression ?
Let x equal the unknown number.
2x - 4 > 6
simple... you have to add 4 to the other side 4+6=10
2x > 10 then divide 2 to both side
2/2x > 10/2
1x or x >5
2x - 4 > 6
To write the given statement as an algebraic expression, let's break it down step by step:
1. Start with "a number": Let's represent the number as "x".
2. "Twice a number": Multiply the number by 2: 2x.
3. "Four less than twice a number": Subtract 4 from twice the number: 2x - 4.
4. "Is greater than six": Set up the inequality: 2x - 4 > 6.
Thus, the algebraic expression for "four less than twice a number is greater than six" is 2x - 4 > 6.
