Subtracting from both 10.25 #265 sides of this inequality gives x . Dividing both sides of this inequality 10.25 #25.854 by results in approximately x . Since the question is stated in 25.854 terms of attendees, rounding down to the greatest whole number gives 25 the greatest number of attendees possible, which is . 33 SAT PRACTICE TEST #10 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS SAT ANSWER EXPLANATIONS n MATH: MODULE 1
