Question 891874: Find all the numbers such that the sum of the number and 36 is greater than five times the number.
Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When x = , then sum of x + 36 =
1, 37 (yes, greater than 5x)
2, 38, y
3, 39, y
4, 40, y
5, 41, y
6, 42, y
7, 43, y
8, 44, y
9, 45, no -- it is EQUAL to 5x the number, but not greater
Assuming it is positive numbers, the set is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
All negative numbers will fit the scenario, as will zero.
