5n−11>15
5 n minus 11 greater than 15

Answer 1

The statement "Eleven less than five times a number $n$ is greater than or equal to 15" can be translated into an inequality as follows:

1. "five times a number $n$" is represented as $5n$.
2. "eleven less than five times a number" means we subtract 11 from $5n$, which gives us $5n-11$.
3. The phrase "is greater than or equal to 15" translates to the inequality $\ge 15$.

Combining these parts, we get the inequality:

$$5n-11\ge 15$$

So, the correct response is:

5n − 11 ≥ 15
