the air pressure of hurricane katrina at landfall was greater than 17 millibars plus the air pressure p before landfall. write and solve an inequality to find the air pressure of the storm before landfall
i think the answer is l>17 millibars+p
is it correct?
ello are u here?
I think so -- but I don't know what the vertical line means.

oh it was an L
also can u help me solve the inequality
To solve the inequality, we'll start by setting up the inequality using the given information.
The inequality states that the air pressure of Hurricane Katrina at landfall was greater than 17 millibars plus the air pressure "p" before landfall. We can represent this as:
Air pressure at landfall > 17 millibars + p
Now, let's solve the inequality step by step. To isolate "p", we'll subtract 17 millibars from both sides of the inequality:
Air pressure at landfall - 17 millibars > p
This is the final inequality that represents the air pressure of the storm before landfall. It states that the air pressure "p" is less than the air pressure at landfall minus 17 millibars.
Please note that without specific values for the air pressure at landfall or the difference between the pressures, we cannot find an exact value for "p." However, the inequality allows us to state a relationship between the two pressures.
