Answer:

c - 7 ≤ 17

c ≤ 24

Explanation:

The difference of c and 7 can be written as c - 7 or 7 - c.

Now, since c - 7 is less than or equal to 17, you need to add ≤ to imply that it's less than or equal to 17.

As always, write the 17 on the other side. Now you have an inequality.

If you just need the equation, it's c - 7 ≤ 17.

But if you want to solve for c, it would be c ≤ 24.

(bring the like terms together and isolate c.)
