Algebraic Inequalities in Word Problems

We can identify key terms in word problems that can tell use what math symbols or operations to use:

  • Less than = <
  • Greater than = >
  • Equal to =

There are other key terms that can help us, including:

  • more than = add
  • twice = multiply by 2

Solving the Question

We're given:

  • 11 more than twice x is less than 44

11 is more than twice x:

  • 11 + 2x

Less than 44:

  • < 44

Combine all of these to get the inequality:

  • 11 + 2x < 44

Answer

11 + 2x < 44
