You can write the inequality: \(10x \le 50\) Because you can spend no more than $50, it's less than or equal to.

Now to solve divide 50 / 10.

Yep, that gives you: \(x \le 5\) Which means, you can buy no more than 5 rolls of wallpaper.

No, you leave the sign the way it is, you only change it when you divide or multiply by a negative number.
