The difference when the product of 4 and a number is subtracted from 16 is greater than 10. How many positive integers satisfy the given conditions?
16 - 4 * x >10 Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation
-4 x > -6 Multiply both sides by -1 NOTE: > reverses when you do this !
4x < 6 Divide by 4
x < 6/4
x < 1 1/2 Only ONE positive integer will satisfy this x = 1
16 - 4 * x >10 Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation
