Express the following statement as an inequality. then solve the inequality and in two or more sentences explain each step in solving the inequality. the product of 2 and the difference of 5x and 6 is less than or equal to the sum of x and 24.

2(5x-6) ≤ x+24
First you expand the brackets on the left side by multiplying each of the things inside by the one outside:
10x-12 ≤ x+24
Now you group like terms by adding -x and 12 to each side:
9x ≤ 36
Now you divide both sides by 9 to get:
x≤4

Hope this helps :)

The surface area would be 576 because you multiply all the numbers then multiply that number by 6
