A number increased by 1 is less than 9

Answer 1

A number: x

A number increased by 1: x + 1

A number increased by 1 is less than 9: x + 1 < 9

Simplified: x < 8

Answer 2

This is an inequality that can be represented with:

x + 1 < 9

Ti identify the solution to the inequality, subtract 1 from both sides of the inequality:

x + 1 -1 < 9 -1

x < 8

This means that all values that are less than 8 are possible solutions to the inequality.
