Question

The difference of x and (-5) is no more than (-9)

Answer 1

x + 5
`\leq` -9

Explanation:

difference means subtraction, so -(-5). The two negatives cancel out so it's +5. "no more than" means less than or equal to, in this case, -9. put these steps/numbers all together and you get x + 5
`\leq` -9
