Find the possible values for s in the inequality 12s - 20 ≤ 50 - 3s - 25.

12s - 20 < 50 - 3s - 25

12s - 20 < 50 - 3s - 25

+3s + 3s

15s - 20 < 50 - 25

+ 20 + 20

15s < 70 - 25

15s < 45

: 15 : 15

s < 3

The value of s is less than or equal to 3. So s can be 3, 2, 1, 0, and negative numbers.

s = 3 ⇒ 12 (3) - 20 < 50 - 3 (3) - 25; 36 - 20 < 50 - 9 - 25; 16 < 16

s = 2 ⇒ 12 (2) - 20 < 50 - 3 (2) - 25; 24 - 20 < 50 - 6 - 25; 4 < 19
