Write the word sentence as an inequality. Then solve the inequality. Three less than a number x is more than 15.

x - 3 > 15 ;

x > 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a number, x

3 less than x ; x - 3

3 less than x is more than 15

The inequality expression becomes ;

x - 3 > 15

We can solve for X ;

x - 3 > 15

Add 3 to both sides ;

x - 3 + 3 > 15 + 3

x > 18

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.
