Step 1Let&#039;s call the variable for &quot;how many more players can make the Team&quot; pBecause the Team can have &quot;no more&quot; than 26 players, it means they can have 26 players or less. This means the inequality we will be dealing with is the       ≤   form.And we know the coach has already selected 17 players. So, we can write:      17    +    p    ≤    26  Solving for p gives:      17    -    17    +    p    ≤    26    -    17        0    +    p    ≤    9        p    ≤    9
