To translate the phrase "15 more than four times a number is more than 49" into an inequality, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the variable: Let's use \( x \) to represent the number.
  2. Translate "four times a number": This would be \( 4x \).
  3. Translate "15 more than four times a number": This becomes \( 4x + 15 \).
  4. Translate "is more than 49": This indicates that we will use the greater than symbol (>) leading us to the inequality.

Putting it all together, the complete inequality is:

\[ 4x + 15 > 49 \]

To fill in the boxes in your inequality format, it would be:

  • Box 1: 4x
  • Box 2: +
  • Box 3: 15
  • Box 4: >
  • Box 5: 49

So, the filled format will look like:

\[ 4x \ + \ 15 \ > \ 49 \]

Sorry was supposed to be 15 less than 4times a number is more than 49

No problem! Let's translate the corrected phrase "15 less than four times a number is more than 49" into an inequality.

  1. Identify the variable: Let’s still use \( x \) to represent the number.
  2. Translate "four times a number": This is \( 4x \).
  3. Translate "15 less than four times a number": This becomes \( 4x - 15 \).
  4. Translate "is more than 49": This indicates we use the greater than symbol (>) leading us to the inequality.

Putting it all together, the complete inequality is:

\[ 4x - 15 > 49 \]

To fill in the boxes based on your format, it would be:

  • Box 1: 4x
  • Box 2: -
  • Box 3: 15
  • Box 4: >
  • Box 5: 49

So, the filled format will look like:

\[ 4x \ - \ 15 \ > \ 49 \]
