Question

I have x naira, I spent 15 naira, the amount I have left is less than 5 naira. write the inequality for x

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore your equation is

(x-15)=(5-x)

And with further calculations;

x-15 =5-x

GROUPING LIKED TERMS

x+x=5+15

2x=20

MAKING X THE SUBJECT

x=20/2

x=10

hence your total amount is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly;

● Let your total amount be a as said in the question variable .Thus:x

Secondly;

● Let;

Your amount spent be less than your total

amount .Thus (x-15) .

Also ; the amount left = 5-x .Since the amount which is left is not bigger than the total amount but less than 5.

Thirdly;

Write the equation in that form introducing an equal to sign in the middle of both equations and arrive at your answer with further calculations
