Question

Mr. Jamieson plans to put some 3-pound math books in a box that can hold 26 pounds or less. The inequality 3b ≤ 26 describes the situation. Which statement about his solution, b ≤ 8 2 3 23 , makes the most sense?

Answer 1

Answer:

b ≤ 26/3

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is divide both sides by 3

3x/3 ≤ 26/x

x ≤ 8.67
