Question

The product of a number and 7 is at most the difference of the number and 5. write an inequality and solve for the variable

Answer 1

       the inequality would be:    7n =< n - 5
(subtract n from both sides):      -n       -n   
                               
                                so then:    6n =< -5
       (divide both sides by 6):     6n/6 =< -5/6

                                answer:  n =< -5/6      OR      n =< -0.83


Hope this helps :)
