Answer:

The inequality that represents all possible values for x is
x \leq 25

Explanation:

To solve an inequality, it is similar to an equality.

We just have to be careful that when we multiply by -1, the signal changes. For example, < multiplied by -1 is >.

In this question:


x + 15 \leq 40


x \leq 40 - 15


x \leq 25

The inequality that represents all possible values for x is
x \leq 25
