the air pressure of hurricane katrina at landfall was greater than 17 millibars plus the air pressure p before landfall. write and solve an inequality to find the air pressure of the storm before landfall
okay sorry. i just thought u guys weren't gonna answer my question. i think the answer is l>17 millibars+p
To solve this problem, we need to set up an inequality based on the given information and then solve for the variable.
Let's assume "p" represents the air pressure before landfall.
According to the information given, the air pressure of Hurricane Katrina at landfall was greater than 17 millibars plus the air pressure "p" before landfall.
So, the inequality can be written as:
p + 17 < x
Where x represents the air pressure at landfall.
To find the air pressure before landfall, we need to isolate "p" in the inequality.
Subtracting 17 from both sides, we have:
p < x - 17
Therefore, the air pressure of the storm before landfall is less than x - 17 millibars.
