Question

doubling the quantity of a number decreased by six is less than negative thirty six

Answer 1

2x - 6 < -36
okay so doubling the quantity of a number means to multiply it by( 2 )sooo
it would look like this (2x)
then since it says decreasED meaning the ed is past tense and it comes after the 2x and the less than sign(<) takes the place of an equal sign and the over all answer is negative (-) thirty six (36)
so our answer 2x - 6 < -36 is correct:)

Answer 2

Answer:

We could use: $2x-6<-36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x

Given is:

Doubling the quantity of a number ; means doubling 'x' which becomes 2x

Now we have to write '2x' decreased by six ; means 2x-6

Now the whole thing is less than negative thirty six ; means $2x-6<-36$

Therefore, we could use: $2x-6<-36$
