Question

Translate the sentence into an inequality five substracted from the product of 8 and a number is at most 25 use the variable x for unknown number

Answer 1

8x - 5 ≤ 25

Explanation:

Given that the unknown number is x

product of 8 and a number is expressed as 8x

five substracted from the product of 8 and a number is expressed as 8x - 5

Since this expression is at most 25, the inequality sign that you are to use will be ≤ (less than or equal to) since it cannot be greater than 25. Hence the required inequality expression is 8x - 5 ≤ 25
