If we assume the sum of two and half the number means 2x+(1/2)x then the sum of two and half the number is 2+1/2 of the number which is the same as 5/2 of the number which is 2.5x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we have
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)x + (5/2)x is less or = 2.5x
\n" ); document.write( "We know that (5/2)x is the same as 2.5 If you divide (5/2) you get 2.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)x + 2.5x is less or = 2.5x
\n" ); document.write( "We cancel out 2.5x from both sides of the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)x is less or equal to zero\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)x <0 If we multiply both sides by three we get x< or equal to zero.
\n" ); document.write( "THis means that x should be zero or less. In other words x should be a negative number. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
