Question

Twelve less than four-fifths of a number is more than 24. What are all the possible values of the number? Lucia wrote the inequality 45n−12>24, where n equals the number, to help solve this problem. Solve her inequality

GPT 3.5 · Answer

To solve the inequality 45n - 12 > 24, we can first add 12 to both sides:

45n - 12 + 12 > 24 + 12
45n > 36

Next, divide both sides by 45:

n > 36/45
n > 4/5

Therefore, all possible values of the number would be any number greater than 4/5.
