13 points CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ??.Write a mathematical sentence that expresses the information given below. Use s as your variable name. If necessary:type < = to meanor > = to mean .If you need to show multiplication, do not use the letter x. Use the asterisk ( * ) symbol instead, or simplify your answer.Mr. Jones's algebra class has too many students in it. If the class were split exactly in half to form 2 new classes, each class would have no more than 17 students in it.

Answer 1

Let s = number of students in Mr. Jones's class. Lets step through what information is given.

1. If the class was split exactly in half...

so, we are starting with s/2

2. Then each class would have no more than 17 students...

s/2 <= 17

If you want the expression in terms of s only, then

s <= 34
