Question

The sum of twice a number and 5 is at most 3 less than the number

Answer 1

So this is our inequality in algebraic terms:
`2n+5\leq n-3`

Firstly, subtract n on both sides of the inequality:
`n+5\leq -3`

Next, subtract 5 on both sides of the inequality, and your inequality is
`n\leq -8`
