Question 333973: A certain positive integer is 8 more than 2 times a smaller positive integer. The sum of these integers is at most 20.
(I just need the equation) Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The words "at most" tells me that this is not an equation; it is a less than or equal to inequality word problem.
Let x = (2x + 8) be the largest integer
Let x = smaller integer
x + (2x + 8) ≤ 20
Can you take it from here?
