Answer:
The number is 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Convert words into an expression</u>
Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty
(3n) + 10 = 20
<u>Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides</u>
3n + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10
3n = 10
<u>Step 3: Divide both sides by 3</u>
3n / 3 = 10 / 3
n = 10/3

Let the number in the Spanish Class = x
Then the number in the Geometry Class = (4/5) x
Equation
x + (4/5)x < 54
Solution
x + (4/5)x < 54
4/5 = 0.8
x + 0.8x < 54
1.8x < 54 Divide both sides by 1.8
1.8x / 1.8 < 54/1.8
x < 30
The sign used in the equation is less than, not less than or equal to.
The number of students taking Spanish cannot equal 30. There must be 29 in the Spanish Class.
