n less than twice a number is equal to at most 52. What are all the possible values of the number? Inuk wrote the inequality 2x−10≤52 , where x equals the number, to help solve this problem. Solve his inequality. Use the letter x as your variable and write your x term first.
To solve the inequality 2x - 10 ≤ 52, we need to isolate the x variable.
First, add 10 to both sides of the inequality:
2x - 10 + 10 ≤ 52 + 10
2x ≤ 62
Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 2 to solve for x:
(2x)/2 ≤ 62/2
x ≤ 31
Therefore, the possible values for the number, x, are all real numbers less than or equal to 31.
