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