the sum of 4.5 and one-third a number is equal to at most 38.9 what are all the possible values of the number? how would you write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem

1 answer

Let's assume the number is represented by the variable "x."

The sum of 4.5 and one-third of the number is equal to at most 38.9 can be written as an inequality:

4.5 + (1/3)x ≤ 38.9

To solve this inequality, we are looking for all the possible values of "x" that satisfy this condition.
