The chess clubcab have at most 36 members. The are 3 times as many boys as girls in the chess club. Which inequality could be used to determine the possible number of girls, x, in the chess club?

The number of girls is at most 9 girls

y ≤ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The chess clubcab have at most 36 members.

At most means : Less than or equal to 36 members and it is represented by the inequality = ≤

The are 3 times as many boys as girls in the chess club.

Boys = x

Girls = y

Hence,

x = 3y

Which inequality could be used to determine the possible number of girls, x, in the chess club?

Therefore,

x + y≤ 36

3y + y ≤ 36

4y ≤ 36

y ≤ 36/4

y ≤ 9

Girls = y

The number of girls is at most 9 girls

stops on an even number.
