Question

nine more than twice a number is less than negative seventeen
Solve the inequality for the unknown number.

Answer 1

Answer:

x>-13

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at what you are given:

9 more (+9)

2 times a number    (2x )  

> -17

So  2x +9  >  -17   Solve like you would if it was an equal sign

First subtract 9 from both sides to get x alone

2x +9 -9  >  -17 -9

2x > 26   divide both sides by 2

x > -13
