1) Gathering the data
Arranging 9 speakers in an array, and there's fewer than 40
Algebraically we could write
xy<40
2) Counting the 9 on the array. The other number that multiplied by 9 would be lesser than 40?
In other words, let's factor so x would be 9. The highest product between 9 and another whole number lesser than 40 is between 9 and 4
9y < 40
And y would be 4
36 < 40
2) So they have 36 speakers on the band.
