I'll be glad to check your answer.
x>20
Correct.
To write an inequality for the statement "Caroline has more than 20 pairs of shoes in her closet," we need to express that the number of pairs of shoes is greater than, but not equal to, 20.
The answer would be option B: x > 20, where "x" represents the number of pairs of shoes Caroline has. This inequality states that the value of "x" must be greater than 20 for the statement to be true.
