Fifteen less than four times a number is more than 49. What are all the possible values of the number? Write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem. Use the letter

Answer 1

Let's start by translating the problem into an equation:

4x - 15 > 49

To solve for x, we can add 15 to both sides:

4x > 64

And then divide both sides by 4:

x > 16

So the solution is any number greater than 16.

In terms of an inequality:

4x - 15 > 49
4x > 64
x > 16
