Write the sentence as an inequality. 8 is less than 6 more than 3 times a number x

Answer 1

Answer 2

Sometimes you have to think a little out of order to do this type of problem.... but here goes an explanation.

8 is less than looks like this: 8 <

6 more than looks like this: +6

3 times a number x is: 3x

So

8 < 3x+6 meets the criteria

Answer 3

8<6+3x

subtract 6 from both sides to get

2<3x

divide by 3

2/3 < x or

x> 2/3
