Question

what inequality represents this word sentence and what is the solution.

Answer 1

Hello Luna. For this question, you could start answering by underlining the question. So you underline eight time a number n is less than 72. This is helps because now you know how to answer the question and it could be done correctly. The inequality would be 8n < 72. This is because 8 * a number n would be 8n. Another thing is it would be less than 72. Which would look like this is < 72. To solve the solution you would solve it by dividing 8 to both sides. This is because it would free you up in n and once you divide that your answer would n < 9. That would be your solution to the problem.

Answer 2

8 n < 72

n < 9
