Question

Write an inequality to match the statement.The difference of a number x and 7 is less than or equal to the sum of the same number x and 5

Answer 1

The difference of a number x and 7 is less than or equal to the sum of the same number x and 5​

The difference means subtraction.

A number is x

Less than or equal is represented with the symbol ≤

So:

The difference of a number x and 7

x-7

is less than or equal to the sum of the same number x and 5​

≤ x+5

Altogether:

x-7≤ x+5
