In your journal, you made up an inequality and solved it. You also brainstormed what it would look like to communicate your solution clearly if your inequality represented a real world problem. In your first post, share your inequality and solution with your peers. Then ask your peers if they can come up with a real-world problem that could be solved using your inequality.
Inequality: 3x + 2 > 10
Solution:
To solve the inequality 3x + 2 > 10, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality:
3x + 2 - 2 > 10 - 2
This simplifies to:
3x > 8
Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 3 to find the value of x:
(3x)/3 > 8/3
This gives us:
x > 8/3
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 8/3.
Real-world problem:
Can someone come up with a real-world problem that could be solved using this inequality?
