Question

Translate the sentence into an inequality.The sum of 7 and x is at most – 22.

Answer 1

The inequality is;

`x\text{ + 7}\leq\text{ -22}`

Here, we want to transform the given statement to an inequality

We need to get the appropriate inequality symbol

The term 'at most' mean that the values could be lesser but cannot be greater than -22

What this mean is that the inequality sign is less than or equal to

Thus, we have that;

`x+7\text{ }\leq\text{ -22}`
