Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4} \le 35[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 people splitting the gas cost equally.

Each person will pay at most $35, so the gas cost to each person can be less than $35 or equal to $35.

The total gas cost is x. The gas cost for each person is 1/4 of the total, so it is x/4.

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4} \le 35[/tex]
