Since you have the values, just plug them into the inequality given.
8x + 10 <= 100
To solve the inequality, first get x by itself by subtracting 10 from both sides to get 8x <= 90, then divide both sides by 8 to get x <= 11.25
That means that whatever x is is no more than 11.25, but either less than or equal to it.
(X depends on the word problem)
