Twenty -teo more than four times a number is less than 82

1 answer

Let's represent the number as "x"

The mathematical expression for twenty-two more than four times a number is:

4x + 22

According to the problem, this expression should be less than 82:

4x + 22 < 82

Now, we can solve for x:

4x < 82 - 22

4x < 60

Dividing both sides by 4:

x < 60/4

x < 15

Therefore, in order for twenty-two more than four times a number to be less than 82, the number needs to be less than 15.
