Lincoln Middle school plans to collect more than 2,000 cans of food in a food drive.So far, 668 cans have been collected. Write an inequality to find

numbers of cans the school can collect on each of the final 7 days of the drive to meet this goal. Identify what your variable represents.

x = cans collected per day

688 + 7x > 2000

My math homework is done

Thanks

thanks my math homework is done too

To write an inequality to find the number of cans the school can collect on each of the final 7 days of the drive to meet the goal, we can use the variable 'x' to represent the number of cans collected on each of the final 7 days.

The total number of cans collected so far is 668, and the goal is to collect more than 2,000 cans.

To find the number of cans the school can collect on each of the final 7 days, we need to find the difference between the goal and the number of cans collected so far, and then divide it by 7.

So, the inequality can be written as:
668 + 7x > 2000

In this inequality, 'x' represents the number of cans collected each day, and the left side of the inequality represents the total number of cans collected after the 7 days, which should be greater than 2,000 to meet the goal.

Thanks!
