ten less than twice a number is equal to at least 52. what are all the possible values of the
number? write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem. use the letter x as the
variable, and write the inequality so that the x term comes first. do not solve the inequality.

Explanation:

Step1: Define the variable expression

Let the number be $x$. Twice the number is $2x$, ten less than that is $2x - 10$.

Step2: Translate "at least 52"

"At least 52" means the expression is greater than or equal to 52, with the $x$ term first.

Answer:

$2x - 10 \geq 52$
