Problema Solution

The sum of two numbers is less than or equal to 18. The second number is 4 more than the first. What are the possible values for the first of the two numbers?

Answer provided by our tutors

x <= 7, y <= 11

x + y <= 18

x + y <= 18

x + (x + 4) <= 18

2x + 4 <= 18

2x <= 14

x <= 7

y = x + 4

y = 7 + 4 = 11
