To write an inequality for the sentence "thirteen less than a number is at most 9," we can first represent the unknown number as 'x.'
The phrase "thirteen less than a number" can be expressed as "x - 13."
The phrase "is at most 9" means that the result of "x - 13" should be less than or equal to 9. This can be expressed as "x - 13 ≤ 9."
Now, let's solve the inequality:
x - 13 ≤ 9
To isolate the variable 'x,' we can add 13 to both sides of the inequality:
x - 13 + 13 ≤ 9 + 13
This simplifies to:
x ≤ 22
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is "x is less than or equal to 22."
