A whole number is 6 more than 2 times another number. The sum of the two numbers is less than 50. This can be written in an ineq
uality as x + 2x + 6 < 50, where x represents the smaller number. From the set {13, 14, 15, 16, 17}, the values of x for which the inequality holds true are choise 13,14 13,14,15 15,16,17 16,17
