Please help me

five subtracted from the product of 6 and a number is less than or equal to 29. Write as an inequality

Answer 1

6x-5 ≤ 29

Explanation:

Let translate each part of the sentence into an equation or expression.

1. "five subtracted from the product of 6 and a number"

• Lets say the "number" is x. The product of 6 and a number would be: 6x
• 'five subtracted from" would be -5
• So the "five subtracted from the product of 6 and a number" would be 6x-5.

2. "is less than or equal to 29"

• using just math symbols, this would be ≤ 29

3. Assemble the two expression into an equation

Combine parts 1 and 2 into an equation.

6x-5 ≤ 29

Extra

6x-5 ≤ 29 can be simplified:

6x ≤ 29+5

6x ≤ 36

x ≤ 6
