Answer 1

Twice (2) a number (n) increased (+) by 4 (4) is at least (>=) 10 (10) more than the number (n)

2n+4 >= 10 + n

 

Solve for n, but make sure you remember the rules when dealing with inequalities. 

Answer 2

Twice a number increased by 4 is at least 10 more than the number

2x + 4 ≥ x + 10

x ≥ 6
