Three times a number less two is greater than two, but no more than seven

Let's break down each part of this question into math symbols. It's cooler to think of it like one of those codes they make you crack in primary school.

Three: 3
Times: * (multiplication)
A number: x
Less two: –2
Is greater than: >
Two: 2
No more than: <
Seven: 7

So 3*x–2>2

But also

3*x–2<7

Solving the first equation, add two to both sides:
3x>4
Divide both sides by 3:
X>4/3 (4/3 is about 1.33)

Solving the second equation, add two to both sides:
3x<9
Divide both sides by 3:
x<3

So the number we want is bigger than 1.33 but less than 3 which makes the

2

Hope that helped! :)

Ithink it is 7. 16
