Given the inequality statement:

The product of 9 and x is less than or equal to -17

Solution:

This can be represented as,

9x ≤ -17

In order to determine the solution for the inequality, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 9. This will cancel out 9x leaving behind x.

9x/9 ≤ -17/9

x ≤ -1.89

Final answer:

x ≤ -1.89
