Question

The difference of 5 times a number and 6 is greater than the number

Answer 1

(5n-6)>n

5n-n>6

4n>6

n>6/4

n>1.5

Answer 2

Let x be the number

5 times a number translates to: 5x

The difference of 5 times a number and 6 translates to: 5x - 6

The difference of 5 times a number and 6 is greater than the number translates to: 5x - 6 > x

5x - 6 > x

4x - 6 > 0 (subtract x from both sides)

4x > 6 (add 6 to both sides)

x > 3/2 (divide both sides by 3/2
