OpenStudy (anonymous):

nequality is a relation that holds between two values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great, so when we are given the phrase 'less than or equal to' what two symbols can we use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so do you know what to do now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sentence reads: The number of people in the chess club is less than or equal to 23. So, let's use the variable 'x' to stand for 'the number of people in the chess club' okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x>23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x~\le~23\] Reads: x is less than or equal to 23, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
