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 inequality as x + 2x + 6 < 50, where x represents the smaller number.

The smaller number that we can take is x = 14, and in that case, the value of the other number is y = 34

How to write the inequality?

First, we have two numbers, x and y, such that:

y = 6 + 2*x

"the first number is 6 more than 2 times another number".

Now we know that the sum of these two numbers is smaller than 50, then we can write:

x + y < 50

Replacing y by the above equation we get:

x + 6 + 2x <  50

3x + 6 < 50

Now we can solve that inequality for x:

3x < 50 - 6 = 44

x < 44/3 = 14.6

And x can only be a whole number, then:

x ≤ 14

The smaller number that we can take is x = 14, and in that case, the value of the other number is:

y = 6 + 2*14 = 34
