What's the inequality ?
the crowd that heard the President speak was estimated to be 10000 people.The actual crowd could be 750 people more or less than this. what are the possible values for the actual crowd size?
I would express this as 10,000 ± 750. However, if you want an inequality:
9250 < crowd size < 10750
To find the possible values for the actual crowd size, we need to set up an inequality based on the given information.
Let's denote the actual crowd size as x. The statement "the actual crowd could be 750 people more or less than this" can be translated into two inequalities:
1. The actual crowd size could be 750 people less than the estimated crowd size: x ≤ 10000 - 750
2. The actual crowd size could be 750 people more than the estimated crowd size: x ≥ 10000 + 750
Simplifying these expressions gives us:
1. x ≤ 9250
2. x ≥ 10750
Therefore, the possible values for the actual crowd size are any value less than or equal to 9,250 or any value greater than or equal to 10,750.
