Give a real world scenario in which you would write an inequality rather than a solution.
Please help I can't think of a scenario.
opps I mean equation not solution.
I have $100 to spend. Do I have enough to buy a pair of jeans and a shirt?
2x < 100
Sure, I can help you with that! Here's a real-world scenario in which you would write an inequality rather than a solution:
Let's say you are planning a road trip, and you have a specific budget for expenses. You are trying to determine the maximum amount of money you can spend on gas during the trip while staying within your budget.
In this scenario, you would write an inequality instead of a solution. An inequality would help you set an upper limit for the amount you can spend on gas so that you do not exceed your budget. Let's assume your budget is $200.
Using a variable, let's say 'x' represents the amount of money you can spend on gas. The inequality would be:
x ≤ $200
This inequality states that the amount you spend on gas, represented by 'x', must be less than or equal to $200 to stay within your budget. It provides a limit or constraint for the maximum amount of money you can spend on gas.
So, instead of providing a specific solution like, "You can spend $150 on gas," an inequality allows you to have a range or boundary for the solution, which meets your specific criteria or constraint.
