Problem

A bus has capacity \(48\) and \(11~\text{students}\) aboard. Let \(x\) be the nonnegative whole-number count of additional students. Solve \(x~+~11~\le~48\) over the contextual domain and report the complete set with units.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Subtract the eleven students already aboard to find the inclusive upper bound on additional students. Then apply what x counts: additional students must be nonnegative whole numbers. The meaningful response is every feasible count from zero through the capacity limit, with the boundary included and the unit “additional students” attached—not just the single greatest count.
