Question

Seven times a number is less than or equal to a quantity that is 24 less than that same

number. Write an inequality that you could solve to find possible values for this

number,

A)7 < 24 - 2

B) 72 2 - 24

972 24 - 1

D) 72 2 - 24

Answer 1

`7x\leq x-24`

Here,
`x` denotes the required number.

Explanation:

Let
`x` denotes the required number that satisfies the following condition.

''seven times a number is less than or equal to a quantity that is 24 less than that same number''

Seven times a number is equal to
`7x`

Quantity that is 24 less than that same number is equal to
`x-24`

Now find the inequality.

As seven times a number is less than or equal to a quantity that is 24 less than that same number,

`7x\leq x-24`
