16 more than s is at most -80

Answer 1

Heather,

When building an algebraic equation or inequality such as this one

start with

how do I write 16 more? I am adding 16 so 16 more is written + 16

16 more than what? the question reads 16 more than S now I have S + 16

is at most translates to ≤ so now we have S + 16 ≤

at most what amount ? (80) so we end up with S + 16 ≤ 80

Does this make sense?
