1 answer

To represent the statement "Fourteen more than six times a number \( n \) is less than or equal to 22" as an inequality, we can break it down as follows:

  1. Six times a number \( n \) is represented as \( 6n \).
  2. Fourteen more than this quantity is \( 6n + 14 \).
  3. The statement indicates that this quantity is less than or equal to 22.

Putting it all together, we can write the inequality:

\[ 6n + 14 \leq 22 \]
