Write an inequality for the sentence.

Question

Then solve the inequality.
Thirteen less than a number is at almost 9.
X -13 <_ 9; x <_ 22
X - 13 >_ 9; x >_ 22
X - 9 >_ 13; x <_ 22
X - 9 <_ 13 x <_ 22

Answer 1

X - 13 <_ 9; x <_ 22

To solve the inequality, add 13 to both sides:

X - 13 + 13 <_ 9 + 13

Simplify:

X <_ 22

Therefore, the solution is x <_ 22.
