Question 906024: i need helping writing this word problem into an equality. the word problem is~ the sum of nine times a number and fifteen is less than or equal to the sum of twenty four and ten times the number
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x be the number, then
9x + 15 < or = 10x + 25
then this inequality can be solved
subtract 9x from both sides of < or =
15 < or = x + 25
subtract 25 from both sides of < or =
-10 < or = x
this can be written as
x > or = -10
