The 2008 attendance at the Ohio State Fair was at least 16,700 less than the attendance in 2009. If the attendance in 2008 was 809,300, write and solve an inequality to find the 2009 attendance.
Idk I was homeschooled
809,300>x-16,700
X<826,000
I understand the question to mean that the difference in attendance was at least 16,600, so I'd write it as
x-809,300 >= 16,700
x >= 826,000
Note that "at least" means greater or equal, not just greater.
The 2008 attendance at the Ohio State fair was at least 16,700+ then the attendance in 2009 if the attendance in 2008 was 809,300 right and solve it inequality to find the 2009 attendance
So how do I solve the question because I don't think I quite get it.
To solve this problem, we need to set up an inequality based on the given information and then solve for the unknown variable.
Let's denote the attendance at the Ohio State Fair in 2009 as 'x'.
Based on the information provided, we know that the attendance in 2008 was at least 16,700 less than the attendance in 2009. This can be represented as:
x - 16,700 >= 809,300
Now, we can solve for 'x' by isolating it on one side of the inequality:
x >= 809,300 + 16,700
x >= 826,000
Therefore, the attendance in 2009 was at least 826,000.
