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 \( 6 + 3x \leq 24 \), La’Shondra starts by subtracting 6 from both sides:

\[ 6 + 3x - 6 \leq 24 - 6 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 3x \leq 18 \]

Next, to isolate \( x \), she needs to divide both sides by 3.

So, the number she divides both sides by is:

\[ \text{The number is } 3. \]
