Question

Five times a number, decreased by 24, is greater than 3 times the number.     What    numbers satisfy this  condition?

anonymous · Answer

First write the problem mathematically:
5x-24 > 3x

So the first thing you want to do is turn it into an equation:
5x-24 = 3x

From here you just solve for x, and ">x" will be the answer to your problem.
