Answer: x = -30
Steps: 19 + x/2 = 4
Subtract 19 from both sides: 19 + x/2 - 19 = 4 - 19
Simplify: x/2 = 15
Multiply both sides by two: x/2 (2) = -15 (2)
Simplify: x = -30
The solution of the given inequality is:
x ≤ 15.24

How to solve the inequality?</h3>
We know that the maximum that she can spend on gasoline is the 12% of $400.
That is:
(12%/100%)*$400 = 0.12*$400 = $48
Now, we know that each gallon of gas costs $3.15, then if x is the number of gallons of gas that she buys, we have the inequality:
x*$3.15 ≤ $48
To solve the inequality, we need to divide both sides by $3.15
x ≤ $48/$3.15
x ≤ 15.24
So the maximum number of gallons of gasoline that she can buy is 15 gallons (actually a little more).
