Question

Three times a number is at most negative six.

3x5-6
O 3x2-6
O 3x<-6
O 3x>-6

Answer 1

The answer is 9 because you solve it from left to right and 3x5 equals 15, 15 subtracted by 6 equals 9

Answer 2

3x ≤ - 6

Explanation:

let the number be x.

three times of it would be 3x

since 3x is at most -6, 3x must be less than or equal to -6.

hence, 3x ≤ -6

however, your option seems to not have any sign that has equal to so perhaps the nearest answer would be 3x < -6
