Twice a number is more than 10. What are the possible values of the number?

Sagot :

Answer:

x>5 or (5, ∞)

Solutiom:

The statement 'twice a number is more than 10' can be mathematically expressed as:

2x > 10

Just simply solve the inequality to find the possible values of the number

2x > 10

Divide both sides by 2 and we'll get:

2x/2 > 10/2

x > 15

Therefore, the possible values of the number are all the numbers greater than 5.

x > 5 or (5, ∞)
