Five more than a twice a number is less than 20. If the number is a whole number, what could the number be?

C

Step-by-step explanation:

5 more than twice a number

(A number)=variable=x

2x+5<20

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x<15

Divide by 2

x<7.5

Any number below 7.5 (can't be 7.5 though)

C

Step-by-step explanation:

5+2x<20

20-5=15

15/2=7.5

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2

step-by-step explanation:
