Question

Write an inequality for the given statement: The product of –3 and a number is no more than 15. plzz help i dont have time

A.-3x ≥ 15
B.-3x ≤ 15
C.–3x > 15
D.–3x < 15

Answer 1

B.
`-3x \leq 15`

Explanation:

Let x be the number,

Given,

The product of -3 and x is no more than 15,

⇒ The product of -3 and x is less than equal to 15,

Since, we use the sign '≤' for less than equal to,

⇒
`-3* x \leq 15`

⇒
`-3x \leq 15`,

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.

Answer 2

We represent the unknown number x. The product of this number and -3 is -3x. This product should be no more than 15. This also means that the product should be less than or equal to 15. This is shown in the inequality,
-3x ≤ 15
The answer is letter B.
