La’Shondra solves the inequality 6+3x≤24

Question

. 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 ≤ 24, La'Shondra first subtracts 6 from both sides:

6 + 3x - 6 ≤ 24 - 6
3x ≤ 18

Next, she divides both sides by a number to isolate x.

To find the number, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of x, which is 3.

3x/3 ≤ 18/3
x ≤ 6

Therefore, the number that La'Shondra divides both sides by is 3.
