Question

The high school soccer team can have no more than 27 players. Solve an inequality to determine how many players can make the team if the coach has already chosen 18 players.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $x\leq 9.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, to find the number of players to make the team by solving an inequality.

Let the number of players that can make team be $x.$

Total number of players high school soccer team can have = 27.

Already players chosen by coach = $18$.

According to question:

$x+18\leq 27$

Subtracting both sides by 18 we get:

$x\leq 9.$

Therefore, the answer is $x\leq 9.$
