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

Let's solve the inequality step by step:

1. Start with the inequality: \[ 6 + 3x \leq 24 \]

2. Subtract 6 from both sides: \[ 3x \leq 24 - 6 \] \[ 3x \leq 18 \]

3. Now, to isolate \(x\), La'Shondra needs to divide both sides of the inequality by 3: \[ x \leq \frac{18}{3} \] \[ x \leq 6 \]

Thus, the number that La'Shondra divides by is 3.
