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
$x \leq 25$
