Answer :
The solution to the equation is x is less than 1.
Let's assume the number as "x".
The given statement can be translated into an equation as follows:
3 - 11x > 21 - 5x
To solve this equation, we can start by simplifying both sides:
3 - 11x > 21 - 5x
Next, let's gather the terms with x on one side and the constant terms on the other side by adding 11x and subtracting 21 from both sides:
3 - 11x + 11x - 5x > 21 - 5x + 11x - 21
Simplifying further, we get:
-16x > -x
Now, we can divide both sides by -16, but since we are dividing by a negative number, we need to reverse the inequality sign:
-16x / -16 < -x / -16
x < 1
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x is less than 1.
