Ten less than twice a number is equal to at most 52. What are all the possible values of the number? Inuk wrote the inequality 2x−10≤52 , where x equals the number, to help solve this problem. Solve his inequality. Use the letter x as your variable and write your x term first. Note: You will find the option to add a > , < , ≥ , or ≤ symbol in the Comparison (<) keyboard.

The inequality is written as 2x - 10 ≤ 52.

To solve this inequality, add 10 to both sides:
2x - 10 + 10 ≤ 52 + 10
2x ≤ 62

Divide both sides by 2:
2x/2 ≤ 62/2
x ≤ 31

Therefore, all the possible values of the number x are less than or equal to 31.
