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 divides both sides by 3: \[ x \leq \frac{18}{3} \] \[ x \leq 6 \]

So, the number that La'Shondra divides both sides of the inequality by is 3.
