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

La'Shondra starts with the inequality:

\[ 6 + 3x \leq 24 \]

First, she subtracts 6 from both sides:

\[ 3x \leq 24 - 6 \] \[ 3x \leq 18 \]

Next, to isolate \( x \), she divides both sides by 3:

\[ x \leq \frac{18}{3} \] \[ x \leq 6 \]

Therefore, the number she divides by is 3.
