Nine more than twice a number is less than negative eleven.

Find all numbers that make the statement true.

Answer :

All the numbers less than -10 and upto negative infinity will make the mentioned statement true.

Let us assume the number to be x. So, twice the number will be 2x. Then, nine more will be represented as: 2x + 9. Now, the total is less than -11, so representing the information in expression along with sign.

2x + 9 < - 11

Rewriting the expression according to 2x

2x < - 11 - 9

Performing subtraction on Right Hand Side of the equation

2x < - 20

x < - 20/2

Performing division on Right Hand Side of the equation
