Hello!

For this type of problem, treat the “less than or equal to” sign as an equal sign!

So, -9+x=4

Now, it is as simple as solving for “x” just like a regular algebra problem. Add 9 to both sides to get “x” by itself:

-9+x+9=4+9

Now you have:

X= 13

Plug the “less than or equal to” sign back into the equation:

X ≤ 13
