Question

The difference between a number x and 3 is no more than 2

Answer 1

x-3<=2

Explanation:

x-3<=2

Answer 2

• x -3 ≤ 2
• x ≤ 5

Explanation:

"The difference between A and B" means "A - B". "Is no more than" means "is less than or equal to." Applying these translations to your statement gives ...

x - 3 ≤ 2

Adding 3 to both sides of this inequality tells you its solution:

x ≤ 5
