Answer:
2 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
add together all of the students and then subtract that from 40.
20+15+3 = 38
40-38 = 2
The answer is
5q/2 or q×5/2
You haven't provided any value, but I can tell you the solution set for the inequality.
First of all, expand both sides:

Add 3x to both sides:

Add 6 to both sides:

Which is of course equivalent to

Divide both sides by 9

So, every number smaller than 2 is part of the solution of this inequality.
