Question

The sum of a number times 9 and 30 is at most 15 what is the answer?

Answer 1

x ≤ - 5/3

Explanation:

Let the number be x

The sum of a number times 9 and 30 is at most 15 translates algebraically to

9x + 30 ≤ 15

Subtracting 30 both sides:
9x ≤ -15

Dividing by 9 both sides:
x ≤ - 15/9

or

x ≤ - 5/3
