Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! the sum of a number times 10 and 15 is at most -17

Answer 1

Let the number = x

Writing the equation you have:

10x + 15 <= -17

Solve for x

Subtract 15 from both sides:

10x <= -32

Divide both sides by 10:

X <= -32/10

Simplify:

X <= -16/5 as a fraction or -3.2 as a decimal
