Accepted Solution

A:
Hey there! 
The answer is x is less than or equal to - 1 11/13

Let's first rearrange the expression: 
8 less than the product 13 times a number x.

The product of 13 and a number x can be written as 13x
We need to subtract 8 from this expression, so 13x - 8

Now set up an inequality:
8 less than the product 13 times a number x is less than or equal to -32

[tex]13x - 8 \leq -32[/tex]
Add 8 to both sides

[tex]13x \leq -24[/tex]
Divide both sides by 13.

[tex]x \leq \frac{-24}{13} \\ x \leq - \frac{24}{13} \\ \\ \boxed{x \leq -1 \frac{11}{13} }[/tex]

The answer is x is less than or equal to - 1 11/13
