Question

Twenty-seven minus of a number (x) is not more than 36. What is the number?
A.
x > 42
B.
x ≥ -6
C.
x < 3
D.
x ≤ -6

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbolically, we have:  27 - x ≤ 36.

We want to solve for x.  To do this add x to both sides, obtaining:

27 ≤ x + 36.

Isolate x by subtracting 36 from both sides:  -9 ≤ x  or  x ≥ -9
