Twice the difference of a number and 7 is at most -26

Question

What's the answer and how do I find the answer

Answer 1

Note: "Is at most -26" means it can

equal -26 or be less, but can never be

more than -26..

 

2(x-7) ≤ -26

dvide both sides by 2

x - 7 ≤ -13

add 7 to both sides to finish solving

the inequality.
