write an equation or an inequality 1. The product of nine and the quantity 5 more than a number less than 6.

myininaya (myininaya):

Product of m and n should be translated a m*n So if you have the product of 9 and a quantity Then how would you translate that (we will get back to what that quantity actually is in a sec)

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

9(

myininaya (myininaya):

ok 9*(the quantity)

myininaya (myininaya):

so it says what that quantity is it defined that quantity as 5 more than a number

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

ok

myininaya (myininaya):

more than means you are adding so if you have m more than n then you translate as m+n you can replace the word " a number" with any letter like m

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

ok so is it 9<5+t>6

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

i am confused

myininaya (myininaya):

ok no like I'm not understand why you in extra inequality signs also 9<>6 9>6 but anyways that is a different question (The product of nine and the quantity 5 more than a number) {less than 6}. I'm saving the thing in { } for the inequality part because it does say <6

myininaya (myininaya):

You said the product of 9 and the quantity translated as 9(quantity)

myininaya (myininaya):

you are going to replace that work quantity with the way it is defined

myininaya (myininaya):

it is defined as: 5 more than a number

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

ok

myininaya (myininaya):

or we will say 5 more than n

myininaya (myininaya):

and 5 more than n translated to what in algebraic symbols ?

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

6> 9+5 <t

myininaya (myininaya):

ok again m more than n means we are adding m and n in this case m+n It doesn't make since to say product of nine and (5>n)

myininaya (myininaya):

sense*

myininaya (myininaya):

All you have to do for me right now is replace the word quantity with the way it is defined in the sentence 9(quantity) quantity=5 more than n

myininaya (myininaya):

9(5 more than n) <6

myininaya (myininaya):

The only thing you have to do is leave the ( ) and replace what 5 more than n means

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

6> 9+5<t

myininaya (myininaya):

so what happen to the multiplication?

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

9(5+n)<6

myininaya (myininaya):

omg yeah you did it!

OpenStudy (jamanorthi):

yeah thanks for the help
