What is inequality?
In mathematics, "inequality" refers to a relationship between two expressions or values that are not equal to one another.
Both mathematical phrases, equations, and inequalities are created by connecting two expressions.
The equal sign (=) indicates that two expressions in an equation are believed to be equivalent.
The symbols >, <, ≤ or ≥ indicate that the two expressions in inequality are not always equal.
So, the sentence we have is:
the sum of negative 3.2 and 1.5 times a number is a maximum of 8.6
Which can be written in inequality as:
-3.2 + 1.5n ≤ 8.6
Therefore, inequality (C) -3.2 + 1.5n ≤ 8.6 correctly represents the sentence "the sum of negative 3.2 and 1.5 times a number is a maximum of 8.6."
