Write an inequality.
Chondra made a $65 withdrawl from her savings account which now has a balance LESS THAN $500.
x - 65 < 500
Let x represent the balance in Chondra's savings account after the $65 withdrawal. The inequality representing the situation is:
x < 500 - 65
To write the inequality, we need to express the relationship between Chondra's withdrawal and her balance. Let's denote the balance as "b". Chondra's withdrawal is $65, which we can represent as "-65" since it reduces her balance. The phrase "less than" implies the use of the less than symbol (<).
So, the inequality can be written as:
b - 65 < 500
This inequality states that Chondra's balance, after a $65 withdrawal, is less than $500.
