First translate this to Algebreze (In other words, turn this into numbers and symbols, or an equation/inequality) like this. Let n = the number.
9n%2B15%3C=24%2B10n
Now solve for n. We are trying to isolate n on one side.
15%3C=24%2Bn
-9%3C=n
n%3E=-9
Hope I helped.

the sum of 9 times a number x and 15: 9x%2B15
is less than or equal to: <=
the sum of 24 and 10 times a number x:24%2B10x
put it all together:
9x%2B15+%3C=+24%2B10x.........solve for x
15-24+%3C=+10x-9x
-9%3C=x
or x+%3E=-9
