Let the mystery number be m.
Then m x 6 < 48
Both sides can be divided by 6, so m <8

I assume it has to be a whole number. The answer is 7. 6 and 8 would be 48, but since it's less than, the answer is 7.

x(6) < 48
Divide both sides by 6.
We get this:
x < 48 divided by 6
x < 8
The mystery number cannot be greater than 8.

enable the secret extensive kind be x. all of us recognize that: 6x + 14 = x - 40 six (six circumstances the secret extensive kind greater suitable by using 14 equals the secret extensive kind minus 40 six) rearrange to clean up for x 60 = -5x x = -12

x< 8
If x is an integer, then x cannot be greater than 7; otherwise it can be any number < 8.
