We are given at most 2 weeks to complete the assignment.

Number of days in one week =7

Number of days in two weeks = 14

Now out of these 14 day 5 days have already passed.

Now let us say x days are left,

So making an inequality,


x+5\leq14

Solving for x,

Subtracting 5 from right side,


x\leq 9

Answer : We have at most 9 more days to complete the work given.
