Question 696971: Twice the difference of a number and 12 is at most 48. Let x represent the number and find all possible values for the number.
a) x<_ 12 b) x_>12 c)x<_36 d)x_> 21

Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = the number

2(x - 12) ≤ 48 {twice the difference of a number and 12 is at most 48}
x - 12 ≤ 24 {divided each side by 2}
x ≤ 36 {added 12 to each side}
