La’Shondra solves the inequality 6+3x≤24 . She begins by subtracting 6 from both sides of the inequality and then divides both sides of the equivalent inequality by a number. What is the number?(1 point) __

Answer 1

To solve the inequality $6+3x\le 24$, La’Shondra starts by subtracting 6 from both sides:

$$6+3x-6\le 24-6$$

This simplifies to:

$$3x\le 18$$

Next, to isolate $x$, she needs to divide both sides by 3.

So, the number she divides both sides by is:

$$\text{The number is }3.$$
