Answer:
Subtracted 12 times a number from 72 is less than 24.
Step by step solution
Given inequality is [tex]72-12a<24[/tex]
We need to write in word.
12a means 12 times a number “a”
72-12a means subtract 12a from 72.
72-12a<24 means result is less than 24.
Inequality shows “Subtracted 12 times a number from 72 is less than 24”
If we solve for number “a”
-12a<24-72
-12a<-24
a>2
All the number greater than 2 satisfy the given inequality.
