Question 895208
"Triple a number decreased by 12 is no more than -9" translates to the following inequality


{{{3x - 12 <= -9}}}


Let's solve for x


{{{3x - 12 <= -9}}}


{{{3x <= -9 + 12}}}


{{{3x <= 3}}}


{{{x <= 3/3}}}


{{{x <= 1}}}


So the possible values for this unknown number (x) is anything less than or equal to 1.
