Six times a number is at least four less than eight times the number. If x represents the number, which will help find the number?
Answer
A
6 x is less than 8 x minus 4
B
6 x is greater than 8 x minus 4
C
6 x is less than or equal to 8 x minus 4
D
6 x is greater than or equal to 8 x minus 4
Explanation
Eight times the number is 8x, so four less than that is 8x − 4. “Six times the number is at least” that amount means 6x is greater than or equal to 8x − 4, which is choice D.
