Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than 36. What is the number?
Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than 36:
27-x<36
solve for x:
27-1x<36 (subtract 27 on both sides)
-1x<9 (dived by -1 on both sides)
x>-9
the answer is any number greater than -9
Answer:
All real numbers greater than or equal to \(-9\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The expression " Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than \(36\)" is equivalent to the algebraic inequality
\(27-x\leq 36\)
solve for x
\(-x\leq 36-27\)
\(-x\leq 9\) ------> Multiply by \(-1\)
\(x\geq-9\)
The solution is the interval -----> \([-9,infinite)\)
All real numbers greater than or equal to \(-9\)
