Question

Write “five less than the product of three times a number and four is no more than sixty-seven” as an algebraic expression. Solve and graph it.

Answer 1

let's take this one piece at a time
5 less means subtract 5
it is 5 less than product which means multiply 3x
and 4 tells us to use () and no more means <=67
all together we get
(3x)(4)-5<=67

we can simplify by multiplying
12x-5<=67 or 12x<=72 and x<= 6

graph this by drawing a line at x=6 and shade the area to le left or the values of x that are less than 6
