Question

which equation correctly represent the statement , " twice the sum of x and 3 is less than 24 by 8?​

Answer 1

Answer: The equation formed will be---

2(X+3)<24/8 i.e,2(X+3)<3

Answer 2

2(x+3)< $\frac{24}{8}$

" twice the sum of x and 3 is less than 24 by 8

According to the question,

2(x+3)< $\frac{24}{8}$

2x+6<3

2x<-3

Dividing the equation by 2 we get,

x<$\frac{-3}{2}$

2(x+3)< $\frac{24}{8}$ This represents the equation and the value of x < $\frac{-3}{2}$
