One half of the number and 6 is less than 25. What is the number?

Question

I need help with my homework

 

Answer 1

1/2 X + 6 < 25

 

1/2X < 19

 

x < 38

 

So any number less than 38 will work

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

DId you mean 1/2(X+6) < 25 ???

That is 1/2 of the sum of a number and 6.

IN that case x+6 < 50

                  x < 44

so then any number less than 44 will work
