3more than the product of 7 and a number x is less then 23

Hi there! The answer is x < 2 4/7

In order to find the value of x, we need to set up and solve an inequality.

The product of 7 and a number x can be rewritten as 7x. To find 3 more than the product of 7 and a number x we now only need to add 3.

We now found the following expression.


This expression is less then 23, so we can start solving our inequality.


Subtract 3 from both sides.


Divide both sides by 7.


Hence, the answer is x < 2 4/7

i believe your answer is b.

good luck!
