All you have to do is subtract six then dive that by three. It would look like this.
96 - 6 = 90

90 / 3 = 30.

Whenever you come across a question such as this one, you just do everything in reverse order. If it says 5 more than you take away five. If it says 8 times more, than you divide by eight. Ect..

Six more = + 6

Three times a number = 3x

3x + 6 ≤ 96

To solve:

Subtract 6

3x + 6 - 6 ≤ 96 - 6

Simplify

3x ≤ 90

Divide by 3

3x ÷ 3 ≤ 90 ÷ 3

Simplify

x ≤ 30

Your answer is x ≤ 30
