Translate the following phrase into an algebraic expression. use the variable n to represent the number. 4 less than triple a number

Work Shown:

n = a number, aka a placeholder for a number

3n = triple a number

3n-4 = four less than triple a number

So whatever n is, we multiply by 3 and then subtract off 4.

As an example, if n = 12, then 3n-4 = 3*12-4 = 36-4 = 32.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
