Write the word sentence as an inequality. Then solve the inequality. Eight times a number $n$ is less than 72

8n < 72

n < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

> means greater than

< means less than

≥ means greater than or equal to  

≤ less than or equal to  

for example : 2 < 3 means 2 is less than 3

3 >2 means 3 is greater than 2

8 times n = 8n

8n is less than 72, this can be represented by the equation : 8n < 72

to determine the value of n, divide both sides of the equation by 8

n < 9  

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
