Two and four tenths times a number minus three is greater than one and six tenths times the number minus four and one tenth

Let's first turn all the words into numbers:

Two and four tenths = 2.4

One and six tenths = 1.6

Four and one tenth = 4.1

Now lets represent "a number" as x.

Then translate the wording into a linear equation:

Simplify and isolate the variable:

Divide by 0.8

x>1.375 or x>1 3/8

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
