Answer 12

As erdog said, "at most" can also be stated as "less than or equal to" for which the symbol is \[\le\]The missing addend is x. So the sum of x and 23, is at most -57.
\[x + 23\le -57\]

Answer 13

so x>-17?

Answer 14

Not quite.
You want to solve for x, the missing number. To do this simply subtract 23 from both sides.
\[x + 23 -23\le -57-23\]\[x \le -57-23\]What is x?

Answer 15

-80?

Answer 16

Right! So x <= 80
