Question #c2fa8

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, let's call the number in the problem: `n`

Then we can write "8 less than a number" as:

`n - 8`

Next, we know `n - 8` "is not more than 14", or, in other words, "is less than or equal to 14". This can be written as:

`n - 8 <= 14`

We also know `n - 8` "is no less than 5", or, in other words, "is greater than or equal to 5". This can be written as:

`n - 8 >= 5`

We can combine these to write:

`5 <= n - 8 <= 14`
