Thrice the sum of thrice a number and -7 is less than or equal to 6. Find the solution of the inequality with solution.
Solution:
Let x = unknown number
[tex]3[3x + ( - 7)] \leqslant 6 \\ \\ 9x + ( - 21) \leqslant 6 \\ \\ 9x \leqslant 27 \\ \\ x \leqslant 3[/tex]
Answer:
x ≤ 3
The statement 'Thrice the sum of thrice a number and -7 is less than or equal to 6' can be written as an inequality as
3[3x + (–7)] ≤ 6
Solving for x:
[tex]3[3x + (–7)]≤ 6[/tex]
[tex]9x - 21 ≤ 6[/tex]
[tex]9x - 21 + 21 ≤ 6 + 21[/tex]
[tex]9x ≤ 27[/tex]
[tex] \frac{9x}{9} < \frac{27}{9} [/tex]
[tex]x ≤ 3[/tex]
