Question

The possible values of x are given by x+8=<6.

The greatest possible value of 7x is_____​

Answer 1

The possible values of x is given by
`x\leq  -2` and they include: -2, -3, -4, -5, -6 and so on

The greatest possible value of 7x is
`-14`

Explanation:

We are given the equation: x + 8 <= 6

Let collect the like terms:

`x + 8 \leq  6\\x\leq  6 -8\\x \leq  -2`

Therefore, x <= -2 and the possible values include: -2, -3, -4, -5, -6 and so on

To find the greatest possible value of 7x is when x = -2.

`7x = 7 * -2\\7x = -14\\`.
