Question

five a plus twenty-two is less than or equal to thirty-two?

Answer 1

If the question is asking for possible values of a in this equation: \[5a+22\le32\] then just treat it like any other equation but with the "less than or equal to" symbol instead of the "=" symbol. Rearrange and solve for a.

Answer 2

okay so what is "a"

Answer 3

a is a variable, it could be any number so long as it satisfies the equation. The question is asking you to find what the possible values of a are. So instead of "5a+22≤32" you need to rearrange the equation into the form "a≤..."
