The product of 3 and x... that means 3 times x, or 3x...



"is at most 40"...


think that through - can it = 40? Yes, it says AT MOST 40. so it can equal 40, or less than 40.


3x ≤ 40

Always remember - MORE THAN or LESS THAN "points' to where you start. THEN - you add (for "more than") or you subtract (for "less than") from that starting place.
