Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the number in the Spanish Class = x

Then the number in the Geometry Class = (4/5) x

Equation

x + (4/5)x < 54

Solution

x + (4/5)x < 54

4/5 = 0.8

x + 0.8x < 54

1.8x < 54                    Divide both sides by 1.8

1.8x / 1.8 < 54/1.8

x < 30

The sign used in the equation is less than, not less than or equal to.

The number of students taking Spanish cannot equal 30. There must be 29 in the Spanish Class.
