How do I write six times the difference between a number and five is greater than the quotient of five times the nuber and two?
I'm pretty sure that the first half is 6(x-5) >. Its the second half I don't know how to write.

6(|x-5|)>5x/2
Spot the "|" marks.
If the number is 7, the "difference between the number and 5" would be 2. No problem.
However if it's 3, the difference would still be 2 (as the question is worded). The "|" marks mean "Make it positive" (absolute value).
