Answer:

6n - 5 ≥ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting the worded terms into expressions :

  • "five less than" ⇒ -5
  • "the product of a number and 6" ⇒ 6n
  • "at least eight" ⇒ ≥ 8

Putting it all together :

  • 6n - 5 ≥ 8

Answer:

6x - 5 ≥ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let that number be " x ".

The product of a number and six,

x * 6 = 6x

Five less than the prod.uct of a number and six,

6x - 5

Five less than the prod.uct of a number and six is at least eight,

This means,

6x - 5 = 8

As well as,

6x - 5 > 8

Both combined,

6x - 5 ≥ 8

Hence, translated.

Note : -

Since the word " at least " is given in the question, we use " ≥ ".

Lem.me also solve this and find the value of x.

6x - 5 ≥ 8

Add 5 on both sides,

6x ≥ 8 + 5

6x ≥ 13

Divide 6 on both sides,

x ≥ 13/6

(The value of x isn't asked in the question, but may find this helpful).
