Question

Translate the following statement to an inequality.

A number is at most seven.

x27
x>7
x<7
x≤7

Answer 1

x ≤ 7

Explanation:

The phrase "at most" means "not more than" or "less than or equal to". Therefore, the inequality that represents the statement "A number is at most seven" is x ≤ 7. This means that any value of x that is less than or equal to 7 would satisfy the inequality. If x is greater than 7, then the inequality would not be true.
