Question

The sum of a number w and 3 is less than or equal to ten.

Answer 1

In this problem we must translate English words into Algebraic Expressions. So we have the following English words:

The sum of a number w and 3 is less than or equal to ten

So let's do that using two steps:

1. The sum of a number w and 3:

Here we have two numbers w and 3. So we must makes the sum these numbers, therefore:

`w+3`

2. The sum of a number w and 3 is less than or equal to ten:

The symbol for the English words less than or equal to is ≤ hence we can write these words as:

`\boxed{w+3\leq 10}`

As you can see, the algebraic expression is an inequality.
