Six subtracted from the product of 5 and a number is at most 19.
"at most"?
(5 * 19) - 6 = ?
5 n - 6 </= 19
5 n </=13
n </= 13 / 5
To solve this problem, let's break it down into smaller steps:
Step 1: Let's represent the unknown number as "x."
Step 2: The product of 5 and the number "x" is 5 * x.
Step 3: Six subtracted from the product is: 5 * x - 6.
Step 4: According to the problem, this expression is at most 19. So we can write the inequality: 5 * x - 6 ≤ 19.
Now, let's solve the inequality to find the range of possible values for "x":
Step 5: Add 6 to both sides of the inequality: 5 * x - 6 + 6 ≤ 19 + 6, which simplifies to 5 * x ≤ 25.
Step 6: Divide both sides of the inequality by 5: (5 * x) / 5 ≤ 25 / 5, which simplifies to x ≤ 5.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 5. This means that the unknown number must be less than or equal to 5 in order for the expression 5 * x - 6 to be at most 19.
