Answer: [tex]12\leq-1.5w+4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to remember the meaning of the symbols of inequalities. These are:
[tex]<[/tex] means "Less than".
[tex]>[/tex] means "Greater than".
[tex]\leq[/tex] means "Less than or equal to".
[tex]\geq[/tex] means "Greater than or equal to".
By definition, the sum is the result of addition, then "The sum of -1.5 times a number w and 4" can be expressed as:
[tex]-1.5w+4[/tex]
"Twelve is no more than..." indicates that the symbol of the inequality must be [tex]\leq[/tex].
Therefore, you ca can write the following inequality:
[tex]12\leq-1.5w+4[/tex]
