My inequality equation is:
A number minus 8 is no more than -3
:
The phase "no more than" can be written <=; (it can be equal or less)
:
x - 8 <= -3
:
Add 8 to both sides:
x -8 + 8 <= -3 + 8
:
x <= +5
:
We can say the number can be no more than 5:
:
Check by substituting 5 for x:
5 - 8 = -3
If we substitute less than 5, say 4, we have:
4 - 8 < -3
-4 < -3
:
Does this help you understand this?
