Answer:
Four more than three times a number is greater than twenty-two.What is the number?
The number is greater than 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Four more than three times a number is twenty-two.
Let the number be 'x'.
Three times of 'x' = '3x'
Four more means further four is added.
So,
The number is [tex]3x+4[/tex]
According to the question.
⇒ [tex]3x+4=22[/tex]
⇒ [tex]3x+4-4=22-4[/tex] ...Subtracting 4 on both sides
⇒ [tex]3x=18[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=\frac{18}{3}=6[/tex] ...Dividing 6 on both sides
Now if it says that it is greater than 22 then we will use [tex]>[/tex] sign.
So the number is greater than 6 'x' > 6.
