Answer:
- 2 – will
- 3 – will
- 4 – will not
Step-by-step explanation:
Whether the offered numbers will satisfy the inequality is more easily seen by solving it for x.
6 + 3x ≤ 15
3x ≤ 9 . . . . . . . . . subtract 6 from both sides
x ≤ 3 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
This is "x is <em>less than or equal to</em> three."
2 is less than 3 so <em><u>will</u></em> meet Mari's goal
3 is equal to 3, so <em><u>will</u></em> meet Mari's goal
4 is not less than or equal to 3, so <em><u>will not</u></em> meet Mari's goal
