Question

Choose the inequality that could be used to solve the following problem.Three times a number is at most negative six. A. 3x ≤ -6 B. 3x < -6 C. 3x ≥ -6 D. 3x > -6

Answer 1

ye its c

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is A. 3x ≤ -6.

Three times a number is 3x. Negative six is -6. But, how to solve the inequality?
At most -6 means that 3x can be -6 or less. If it was said at least -6, that it would mean that 3x can be -6 or more.
So, three times a number is at most negative six can be expressed as:
3x ≤ -6
