Solve the inequality.

c – 5 ≤ 6

c ≤ 1

c ≤ –30

c ≤ 11

c ≤ –11

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( c - 5 \leq 6 \), we first isolate \( c \):

  1. Add 5 to both sides of the inequality: \[ c - 5 + 5 \leq 6 + 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ c \leq 11 \]

Now we can evaluate the options given:

  • \( c \leq 1 \) (False, since \( c \) can be greater than 1)
  • \( c \leq -30 \) (False, as \( c \) could be much larger)
  • \( c \leq 11 \) (True, as it matches our solution)
  • \( c \leq -11 \) (False, as \( c \) could be larger)

The correct solution is: \[ c \leq 11 \]
