Let x be the total number of people who can come to play on a given night. Since there are 4 people per table, the total number of people who can play is 4 times the number of tables:
Total number of people = 4 * number of tables
Using the given information that there are 19 tables, we can substitute 19 for the number of tables:
Total number of people = 4 * 19 = 76
Therefore, the inequality that expresses how many people can come to play on a given night is:
x ≤ 76.
This inequality tells us that the maximum number of people who can play on a given night is 76, which is the total number of people that can be accommodated by the 19 tables.
