Santiago wants to walk at least 500
miles before the end of this year.
He has already walked 437
miles, and there are 36
days left in the year.
Which inequality can be used to find x
, the number of miles he should walk each day to meet his goal?
Let x be the number of miles Santiago should walk each day.
The total number of miles Santiago wants to walk is at least 500 miles.
So the inequality is x * 36 ≥ 500 - 437.
Simplifying the right side of the inequality, we get 63.
Therefore, the inequality is x ≥ 63/36.
Simplifying further, we get x ≥ 1.75.
