Ten less than twice a number is equal to at Least 52. What are the possible values of the number ? Write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem?
Let's denote the number as x.
The given statement tells us that "ten less than twice a number is equal to at least 52." In equation form, this can be written as:
2x - 10 ≥ 52
To solve this inequality, we can isolate the variable x by adding 10 to both sides:
2x ≥ 62
Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 2 to solve for x:
x ≥ 31
Hence, the possible values of the number are any value greater than or equal to 31.
