Write an inequailty for the sentence and solve it.
1. The sum of a number w and 3 is less than or equal to ten
"The sum of a number w and 3" ---- > w+3
" is less than or equal to" --- > ≤
"ten" ---- 10
you state it.
w + 3 < 10?
and answer is w < 7?
good job
To write an inequality for the given sentence, we need to break down the information provided.
The sum of a number w and 3: w + 3
Is less than or equal to ten: ≤ 10
Combining these parts, the inequality can be written as:
w + 3 ≤ 10
To solve this inequality, we will isolate the variable w.
w + 3 ≤ 10
Subtracting 3 from both sides:
w ≤ 10 - 3
w ≤ 7
So, the solution to the inequality is w ≤ 7, which means the number w must be less than or equal to 7 in order for the sum of w and 3 to be less than or equal to ten.
