Answer:
The inequality to determine how many more players can make the team is:
[tex]x+17\leq 26[/tex]
On solving it we get : [tex]x\leq 9[/tex]
Thus, the number of players that can still make in the team must be no more than 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Maximum number of players the soccer team can have = 26
Number of players already chosen by coach = 17
To find how many players can still make the team.
Solution:
Let the players that can still make the team be = [tex]x[/tex]
Players already chosen = 17
Total number of players in the team can be given as = [tex]x+17[/tex]
Total numbers must not exceed 26.
So, the inequality can be written as:
[tex]x+17\leq 26[/tex]
Solving for [tex]x[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by 17.
[tex]x+17-17\leq 26-17[/tex]
∴ [tex]x\leq 9[/tex]
Therefore, no more than 9 players can still make in the soccer team.
