Question 675418: Two times an unknown number is at least 4, and 8 more than the number exceeds 5. Find all possible values for the unknown number. Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two times an unknown number is at least 4, and 8 more than the number exceeds 5. Find all possible values for the unknown number.
Let n be the number.
>>Two times an unknown number is at least 4<<
2n ≥ 4
n ≥ 2
8 more than the number exceeds 5
n+8 > 5
n > -3
So if n ≥ 2, it's certainly > -3, so any number 2
or greater satisfies that.
