To analyze the situation, we know Kelli walks no more than 25 dogs on Mondays, and Ms. Lincoln has 5 dogs that Kelli walks.
Let's define:
- \( x \) = the number of dogs Kelli can walk on Mondays in addition to Ms. Lincoln’s dogs.
Since Kelli has 5 dogs from Ms. Lincoln, the total number of dogs she can walk is \( x + 5 \).
Now, considering the information provided when Kelli walks no more than 25 dogs, we can write the inequality:
\[ x + 5 \leq 25 \]
To solve for \( x \), we subtract 5 from both sides:
\[ x \leq 25 - 5 \]
\[ x \leq 20 \]
This means that the correct inequality representing the situation is \( x \leq 20 \). Among the options you provided, the correct choice is:
x is less than or equal to than 30 (which seems to be a miscommunication; it should actually be something close to "x is less than or equal to 20").
Just to clarify, based on the constraints we discussed, if the options were meant to convey that Kelli can walk up to 20 additional dogs and not more (since her total cannot exceed 25), the relevant response related to this would indeed be that \( x \) is less than or equal to 20, but make sure to check the phrasing with the exact options available.
