Answer :
seven less than (-7) than the product of twice a number (2x) is greater than (>) five more than (+5) the same number (x)
2x-7>x+5
treat the > sign as an equals for now
2x-7=x+5
subtract x from both sides
x-7=5
add 7 to both sides
x=12
put the > sign back in
x>12
2x-7>x+5
treat the > sign as an equals for now
2x-7=x+5
subtract x from both sides
x-7=5
add 7 to both sides
x=12
put the > sign back in
x>12
Let the number be x.
Seven less than the product of twice a number : 2x - 7.
Greater than >
5 more than the same number : x + 5
The equation is: 2x - 7 > x + 5.
That's the answer. But let us just go ahead and solve it.
2x - 7 > x + 5.
2x - x > 5 + 7
x > 12.
Seven less than the product of twice a number : 2x - 7.
Greater than >
5 more than the same number : x + 5
The equation is: 2x - 7 > x + 5.
That's the answer. But let us just go ahead and solve it.
2x - 7 > x + 5.
2x - x > 5 + 7
x > 12.
