13x - 8 < = -32
13x < = -32 + 8
13x < = - 24
x < = -24/13

Answer:


x\geq(40)/(13)

Explanation:

We have been given an inequality which is:

8 less than 13 times a number x which gives 8-13 x

And less than or equal to -32 which gives:
8-13x\leq -32

We will solve for x we get:


-13x\leq -32-8


-13x\leq -40

On further simplification we get:


x\geq(40)/(13)
