Use s as your variable name. If necessary:

type < = to mean

or > = to mean >

If you need to show multiplication, do not use the letter x. Use the asterisk

(*) symbol instead, or simplify your answer.

Mr. Jones's algebra class has too many students in it. If the class were split

s/3 < = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

We choose that s represents the number of students in Mr Jones's algebra class. The s/3 is the number in each class that is 1/3 the size. "No more than 14" means "less than or equal to 14."

s/3 < = 14

__

No specific size is given for a class that does not have the description "too many." So, we can write no specific math sentence to say ...

s is "too many"
