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

Answer 1

La'Shondra starts by solving the inequality $6+3x\le 24$ by subtracting 6 from both sides. This gives her:

$$3x\le 24-6$$

Simplifying that, we have:

$$3x\le 18$$

Next, to isolate $x$, she needs to divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of $x$, which is 3. Therefore, the number she divides by is:

$$3$$

So, the number is $3$.
