Algebraic Inequalities in Word Problems
We can identify key terms in word problems that can tell use what math symbols or operations to use:
- Less than = <
- Greater than = >
- Equal to =
There are other key terms that can help us, including:
- more than = add
- twice = multiply by 2
Solving the Question
We're given:
- 11 more than twice x is less than 44
