Ok, the problem starts out with you adding 13 to "a certain number", which is called x, so how would you write "13 added to "a certain number"" in an equation?

Can you help me with one more?  
Identify the line that contains the error in this solution and correct the work for that line. 

Negative two times x plus one minus three is greater than or equal to eleven 
Negative two x plus negative two minus three is greater than or equal to eleven 
Negative two x plus negative five is greater than or equal to eleven 
Negative two x is less than or equal to sixteen 
x is less than or equal to negative eight

Hello?  @noseboy908 ?

Are you given them as you wrote them, or did you convert them?

anonymous · Answer

I converted them

noseboy908 · Answer

Hmm, ok, then is the last line the universal rule for all but the one with the error?
