Question 1051072
the number is x
2(x+4) is less than or equal to 3(x+7)-4. That says twice the sum of a number added to 4 is less than or equal to (not more than) thrice the sum of a number and seven decreased by four.
2x+8 <= 3x+21-4
2x+8 <= 3x+17
-x <= 9

try -10 should not work
(-6)2 is less than or equal to 3(-10+7)-4
-12 is less than -13.  No, it does not work
----------------------------------------
-5 should work
2(-1) is less than 2(2)-4
-2 is less than 0.  Yes, it works.
