Ten less than twice a number is equal to at most 52. What are all the possible, vales of the number? Inuk wrote the inequality 2x - 10 < 52, where x equals the number, to help solve this problem. Solve his inequality. Use the letter x as your variable and write your x term first.
To solve the inequality 2x - 10 < 52, we will isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality.
First, add 10 to both sides of the inequality:
2x - 10 + 10 < 52 + 10
2x < 62
Then, divide both sides of the inequality by 2:
2x/2 < 62/2
x < 31
Therefore, the possible values for the number are all values less than 31.
