PLEASE HELP ME JUST A LITTLE CONFUSED.

Express the following statement as an inequality. Then solve the inequality and in two or more sentences explain each step in solving the inequality. The product of 2 and the difference of 5x and 6 is less than or equal to the sum of x and 24.

Answer 1

x ≤ 4

Explanation:

The product of 2 and the difference of 5x and 6 is less than or equal to the sum of x and 24 as an inequality would be:

2(5x-6)≤x+24

2(5x-6)≤x+24 ------------------------------------------- > x ≤ 4

the answer to the inequality

Answer 2

The answer is

2(5x-6)≤x+24
