Answer:

The biggest number usable is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (1/2 x + 8)  ≤  59            Remove the brackets

x + 0.5x + 8 ≤ 59                Combine

1.5x + 8 ≤ 59                        Subtract 8

1.5x  ≤ 59 - 8                        Combine

1.5x ≤ 51                               Divide by 1.5

1.5x/1.5 ≤ 51/1.5

x ≤ 34
