Seven less than the product of twice a number is greater than five more than the same number. Which integer satisfies this inequality?

Asked by njdnewmoon

Answer (3)

To answer this question, we would have to use algebra.
Let the unknown number be A.
Now, as per the question, we have the equation -> 2A - 7 > 5 + A ==> 2A - A > 5+7 ==> A > 12
So, the final answer is --> A > 12

2x-7>5+x
x>12

The integer that satisfies the inequality x + 5"> 2 x − 7 > x + 5 is 13 , which is the smallest integer greater than 12. This is found by isolating x in the inequality. Therefore, 13 is the solution.
