a number decreased by 5 is at most 33

Question

writing inequalities

Answer 1

Hi David,

 

If you don't remember what each sign means, just reread the question a number of times until it logically makes sense. So, in this question, at most 33, means that 33 is the most. So, if my number is x:

 

x - 5 ≤ 33

 

Hope this helps!
