Question

A number y plus 2.4 is less than or equal to 35. Write the sentence as an inequality.

Answer 1

y + 2.4 ≤ 35

Explanation:

Less than or equal to sign is ≤

The sentence can be represented by the inequality:

y + 2.4 ≤ 35

Subtract 2.4 from both sides

y + 2.4 - 2.4 ≤ 35 -2.4

y ≤ 35 - 2.4

y ≤ 32.6

Therefore, y is less than or equal to 32.6
