Answer 1

(n*16) -7 ≤ 45

Explanation:

You can't exactly explain, but I'm pretty sure this is correct

Answer 2

Answer:
`16n-7\leq45` .

Explanation:

The given statement : “7 less than the product of a number, n, and 16 is at most 45.”

In algebraic expressions, we can write

`\text{product of a number, n, and 16 = }16* n=16n`

Now ,
`\text{7 less than the product of a number, n, and 16}=16n-7`

Also , phrase "at most " means "maximum" or "less than or equal to".

i.e. at most 45 means less than or equals to 45.

Now ,
`\text{`

`16n-7\leq45`

Hence, the required inequality is
`16n-7\leq45` .
