i’m having a hard time understanding this. “write an inequality to represent the situation. the temperature stays above -15”
t > -15
above means greater than
so, if we let t represent the temperature, the sentence becomes just
t > -15
thank you both so much!<3
You're welcome
To represent the situation where the temperature stays above -15, you need to write an inequality. Inequalities describe relationships between two values using symbols such as greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (≥), or less than or equal to (≤).
In this case, we want the temperature to be above -15. Since we're using the term "above," it means that the temperature needs to be greater than -15.
Therefore, the inequality to represent this situation would be:
Temperature > -15
Note that the symbol ">" indicates "greater than." So, the temperature should be greater than -15 in order to meet the condition.
