Answer: w lesser than or equal to 4

Explanation:

Dwight and Walt are building model cars.

Let d = the number of models built by Dwight.

Let w = the number of models built by Walt.

Dwight builds 7 fewer models than 4 times the number Walt builds. This can be expressed as

d = 4w - 7 - - - - - - - - - 1

Dwight builds at most 9 models. This is expressed as

d lesser than or equal to 9

From equation 1

d = 4w - 7

4w = d + 7

w = (d+7)/4

Assuming Dwight built 9 models

w = (9+7)/4 = 4

Therefore,

Walt builds at most 4 models. It is expressed as

w lesser than or equal to 4

It is shown in the attached photo
